Merchants Millpond and Sunnyside







Sunday was a beautiful day. Charlene and I took our friends Cosmin and Simona to canoe at Merchants Millpond in Northeastern NC. Merchant's is a swamp and natural area that has an abundance of turtles, turkey, bald cypress and duckweed. The turtles were out sunning on the logs and we even found the resident alligator. On the way back we stopped in Williamston at Sunnyside's Oyster Bar. We had some cold beer, oysters, bay scallops, shrimp and tried the house speciality the Red Rooster. It is an oyster on a saltine cracker with fresh horseradish, black pepper, texas pete and some little peppers. It was wicked hot and the need for cold beer increased! Enjoy the pics.
