Yesterday we took the ferry to ocracoke island (picture group 1) and,after finding a campground, went to the beach(picture groups 2,3)
Today we are going to take a ferry to cedar island (actually not an island, but part of the mainland)
After the previous blog post (the same day) my mother insisted we go to see the "phosphorescence or phosphorus" (as my mom calls it (sometimes says phosphorescence and other times phosphorus, which is actually an very dangerous element, look up white or red phosphorus to see more detail), even though I insist it is properly called bioluminescence (more simply bio- living -luminecence- emmitting light)).

Qustion answers: "type of light used?," the light originally burned whale oil, then kerosene, and now it uses electricity "were you able to go up in to the structure & is it still in use today??)" we were not able to go in the lighthouse because it is in use today. "Just wondering...does bioluminescence pertain to lightning bugs? Is that what you were looking for?" the bioluminescence does apply to lightning bugs, however we were look ing for a glowing (faintly) algae "How does the game from colonial times compare to a DS?" it was what I chose to play instead of my DS, so yes it is pretty fun!
