Down East Carolina

By Bert Brun

After running a Victorian house Bed and Breakfast for four years at the top of Seattle's Capital Hill, two seniors want something completely different and hatch a plan to move a cottage to the edge of a beautiful, remote tidal marsh in eastern North Carolina. They run into unexpected difficulties but persevere and then spend the next eight years enjoying observing the wild animals all about them and learning the cultural ways of the area.
