| From Kitty Hawk I drove 68 miles south to Cape Hatteras. They have car and pedestrian ferries to Ocracoke Village. The trip takes an hour. I thought about going but decided against it. |

| Hundreds of people were kite surfing that day. If you look closely you can see that this surfer has been pulled up out of the ocean and into the air. How scary would that be? |

| The Cape Hatteras lighthouse is the largest brick light house in our nation. Because this is an island on the Outer Banks, the shape of the island changes daily with the wind. When the light house was built it was far from the sea. When it was moved 25 years ago the sea had come so close they worried sea water would infiltrate the base and rot the pine wood pilings underneath. The light house was moved successfully. Right now we couldn't walk inside because they are doing repairs. |
