Friday, January 18th

Today we leave the island!  We got out at 9:30 and had a chance to explore the little village.  Most of the shops were closed but we did get to hit a few little nik nak shops.  On the way home I got to read 75% of a book called "Twenty Boy Summer" by Sarah Ockler.  I wanted a young teen/adult novel that had a love vibe.  No, I am not interested in books like Twilight  but I do enjoy a good love story.  Thus why my favorite movie of all time is....The Princess Bride!

A few weeks before I left for Ocracoke Island, I came across a show called "Show the States got their shapes."  On one of the episodes it discussed the dialect of Ocracoke island.  I was so excited to discover this work chart for local slang.  =)

Came across some of these babies in one of the local shops.  You could have a bit of history for $200!  I did pick up some awesome t-shirts (size medium for the FIRST TIME EVER!) and a necklace.

I LOVED my stay at Ocracoke and it really taught me about the island lifestyle.  Not being in the rush to get anywhere and enjoying the moment.  This trip has really taught me a lot about my lesson planning for school. I feel more organized and ready to take on the new semester!
