Providence in November

We were invited to a wedding on the East Coast and extended our visit to explore America’s tiniest state.

Durham’s American Tobacco Campus

The tobacco industry was the base of Durham’s economy for a hundred years.

Raleigh, the capital city of North Carolina, holds the largest intact 19th century neighborhood, called Oakwood.

This story was intentionally kept out of our history textbooks.

All of this to say that Durham is a distinctly art-minded community.

We went on four tours in a single day at the McMenamins Edgefield campus.

The McMenamins family brought craft brewing to Portland and established a beer culture here.

California’s Central Valley is about 450 miles long and I drove through them all.

How often do you hear about someone who is a famous bridge-builder?
