Wilmington

Finally we were able to travel out of town--with a rent car and in one and a half days.



The first stop was Wilmington, a charming port city located in the southeastern corner of North Carolina. Wilmington is a popular destination for both tourists and non-tourists because of its moderate, four-season climate, historic preservation district and typical southern-America life style.



Wilmington is the hometown of Michael Jordan and a well-known journalist David Brinkley, though I failed to find both home.And it was also a major base of Confederate blockade runners during the Civil War.



Museums were closed to public on Sundays, so we were just lucky enough to bump into a backyard-garden of one historic site. The Burgwin-Wright House, said to be "The most considerable house in town", was also famous for its garden.



There were more churches and temples than restaurants in this little place, quite impressive to me.
