Day 5 – Today we left at 7:00 and headed to Durham, NC to visit Duke University.  It was a relatively long drive – 320 miles, but basically all on the interstate.  We got to Duke at 1:00 for our 2:00 tour.  The campus is really nice.  It is heavily forested and has a huge gardens in the middle.  The tour started with a 1 hour talk, but the speaker was quite engaging and I found it to be quite impressive.  Made me want to go back to college.  J  We toured the West Campus which is all built in a Gothic style.  Kelli really enjoyed the architecture.  They seem to have a strong arts program, including dance.  All-in-all it was an excellent experience and I think made Duke very much worth considering for Kelli. 

After the tour we walked around the gardens and then drove into downtown Durham where we found a Whole Foods to buy some groceries.  Tonight we’re staying in an old RV park with a bunch of full-timers that live here.  The wi-fi comes and goes, but I’m able to get a bunch of pictures up…

Tomorrow it’s off to the Blue Ridge Parkway.  J
