On October 3rd we took a bus, actually two, over to Raleigh, to have a look at the state capital. After a couple months of moving in and going through our stuff, we needed some travel time. Click to enlarge.

| Sip n' Stroll Downtown...what a concept! |
 |
| Until 1974, widely regarded as our worst president ever |
 |
Before the state capitol, a monument to three presidents, Jackson,
Polk, and Johnson, who hailed from NC--it would be hard to think
of three worse ones...wait, no, it's easy to think of three worse ones...
Nixon, W, and Trump |

| Siege mortar guarding the capitol |
 |
Moving right along...as I have always observed, in time everything
becomes a restaurant...former Art Deco gas station, now a Mexican
restaurant |
 |
| Still in the Sip n' Stroll district |
 |
Now in the historic district (the flag says so), admiring the old
houses |
 |
| And associated curiosities |
 |
| Now in the new government buildings district |
 |
| Southern Gothic Baptist district |
 |
| Latin Quarter |
 |
| Some serious Art Deco here and there |
 |
| Even says so |
 |
| Deco Echo |
 |
| Local humor |
 |
| Serious Deco |
 |
| We had lunch at a quite decent German restaurant |
 |
| Similar to the currywurst I had; Hofbrau bier too |

I was thinking maybe until 2016 Johnson was the Worst President Ever!
