Another beautiful morning at Avon Fishing Pier.

Surf is up!
I wonder if the locals call in sick on special days like this!
Since it was so cool and cloudy we decided on a shopping trip to Manteo on Roanoke Island.
I would love to revisit this beautiful town! Manteo was the first American Indian to receive a title of nobility. He was a liaison between the Roanoke Colony settlers and the Indians.
From Plymouth, England, on 27 April 1584
Walter Raleigh sent Philip Amadas and Arthur Barlowe to North America to explore and prepare for English colonization. On 13 July they claimed land in the name of Queen Elizabeth. Called Virginia in her honor, this area is now known as North Carolina. In 1585 a colony under Governor Ralph Lane settled here on Roanoke Island, remaining a year. In 1587 a second colony under Governor John White established the “Cittie of Ralegh” at the same site. This settlement, known as Raleigh’s “Lost Colony”, disappeared between 1587 and 1590.
Manteo is also home to the Roanoke Marshes Lighthouse, a replica of the one constructed in 1877.
I don’t know anything about this building…I just like it!
There were lots of these colorful baskets for sale!
