Tryon Palace, New Bern NC

Today we toured Tryon Palace, the historic Capitol and Governor's residence from 1770 to 1794. I would love to show you the inside but, as usual no cameras are allowed. The interior was fabulous with hand carved trim and moldings, and period furniture. The gardens were interesting as well as beautiful. The 13 gardens included the kitchen garden which they use to prepare meals each day for the workers the way they did it in the 1700's. Pictures are worth a thousand words but, no cameras allowed. All in all it was a great tour. We had a late lunch (lupper) at Baker's square, a home town bakery and restaurant. Couldn't leave without buying some baked goods. (Yum)
