When Carol and I left SALT ‘N SAND we drove to Beaufort, NC then to New Bern, NC. The city of New Bern was founded in 1710 by a Swiss immigrant who named the area Bern after the capital of Switzerland. The city became wealthy from agricultural products and that wealth is visible in houses like this one.

| Navy Bear |
In 2010, the city commissioned local artists to paint some life-size fiberglass bears and place them throughout the city. The flag bear combines the flags of the United States, North Carolina and New Bern. The Navy bear need no further description.
The city is also the birth place of Pepsi-Cola.
