I do not believe I had ever been to Durham before, although Raleigh itself is well familiar to me. I loved the way that Mercury rocket towers at the front of the building. I only really had time for the butterflies, as I arrived with only a limited time before I had to go get ready for supper.
I liked Durham, though--very home town and with a bit of character to it.

I wish I had had some astronaut ice cream, but I did get some incredible Smithfield barbecue, with the vinegar sauce, and, of all things, hush puppies.

I had a good day in court today, but I'm guessing that I'll still have to make one more trip in about 60 days. If you were just a little closer, I would have driven up to see y'all Sunday. Maybe next time we should go have Sunday lunch in the middle somewhere!
