Today was a very busy day. It started early in the morning when Ian and I went golfing at the Duke University golf course. Given that this was my first game of the year and the course is an NCAA championship course, the results were downright embarrassing. I didn’t keep a score but I suspect that I might have been at least 50 over par. The course is very scenic but way beyond my ability.
In the afternoon we all went to an NHL game between Carolina and Philadelphia at the RBC Centre in Raleigh. The arena is a very cosy and the seats offer a great view of the game. Carolina has a couple of former Ottawa Senators, so it was interesting for us to watch the game. Carolina won the game 1-0, so we all went home happy.
After the game we had the grand tour of Durham. Ian and Lynda took us to the American Tobacco Company. These are former warehouses and production facilities that have been renovated and are now restaurants and offices. Next we went to the Duke University campus. The architecture in the Quad is Gothic and the chapel reminds us the cathedrals that you would see in Europe. It even has its own crypt where some of the university’s presidents are buried.
For dinner they took us to Mama Dip’s in Chapel Hill. This is a popular down home southern cooking restaurant that is located not far from where Kari and Jonah lived in 1999.
Tomorrow we are on our way home.
