New Bern

 While we were in New Bern Saturday, Hubby and I took about an hour for ourselves. We just wandered the streets and looked in a few shops. It was nice to wander hand in hand for a bit.

We walked through this church's memorial garden. The architecture in New Bern is beautiful, some of it dating from the 1700s!










This church is one of my favorite places in the state. Christ Church was established in 1715. The original church no longer stands, but where it was is outlined with a brick wall. Inside the wall are these benches where you can sit and meditate or pray. The area is covered with huge trees draped in Spanish moss, and around the area are old grave sites. It is very serene and beautiful, even though it is in the middle of town.







Sarah Haywood, died 1791.











Isn't it beautiful?












Will anyone remember me in 300 years? It is a place that puts life in perspective.
