The State of North Carolina is usually not your first association when it comes to falling in love with a particular region. But one of the exciting things about traveling is that such things can happen in unexpected places. After two days in chilly Philadelphia, the Tar Heel State welcomed me with a scenery of rolling hills with pine forests, mild 10° C, blue skies and glaring sun. I could have soaked it forever. On the day of my talk at Duke, I used every free minute to wander across a campus full of Georgian architecture and enchanting Botanic gardens. And I regretted to have opted for such a short stay.
(Apologies for the bad composition of the pictures---I find this difficult when using my mobile phone.)
