North Carolina – State #16

Starting out from Charleston, South Carolina, we arrived in Durham, North Carolina in the late afternoon. It was a beautiful spring 85° afternoon, and with the forecast for rain the next day we did a little sightseeing right away.

We went to where they filmed the movie Bull Durham, it’s a picturesque familiar (if you’ve seen the movie) looking ballpark. Then we found the newer stadium that currently houses the Durham Bulls, AAA affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays, and the Duke University baseball team.

We also took a little walk around the Duke University campus, and tried to go into Cameron basketball arena, but unfortunately it was locked up. They were preparing for some event later this week and didn’t want anyone inside. The Duke University Chapel was also already closed for the day, so we went back this morning before we left Durham to head north.

Following up on my booster, I had a very mild reaction – which was kind of perfect. I know I actually got something injected into me, but I just needed a couple of Advil twice to feel fine.
