The locals are friendly

Riding the London underground has given me a new appreciation for Ocracoke. Rather than staring into the middle distance in an isolated bubble, people on Ocracoke greet one another when they pass in the street. Biking or walking through town and sharing smiles and hellos with perfect strangers puts me in a silky coccoon of bliss. You can always retreat to your rental home if, as one transplant from New York once admitted, the happy vibe on Ocracoke gets to be too much.

To give London its due: everyone has been terrifically friendly; even the bus drivers are helpful! Today Spitalfields market and the Tate Modern. In two more weeks I'll be serving up food at the Cafe Atlantic and swimming in the ocean.

About Me

My Photo
Name: Blue Heron Vacations
Location: Ocracoke, NC, United States

I grew up on Ocracoke (Class of 1990!) and graduated from Davidson College. Jennifer, who many of you know as the owner of Blue Heron Realty, has been a great and true friend for as long as I can remember. I work as a waitress at the Cafe Atlantic, serve on the board of our community radio station (check out WOVV.org) and write an occasional column for the Island Breeze. Every time I travel I fall in love with a new place, but nothing yet trumps living near my (at times eccentric) family, swimming in the Atlantic on our world class beach, and being part of the strong, warm and inspiring community which is Ocracoke.
