Today was a break through day as far as finding my way around this small community. I went to the library and got a Kill Devil Hills library card from a loopy librarian who gave me weird directions to a park that happened to be just a block away from where I already was. I checked out four books about the area including one called The Wreckers about scavengers of ship wrecks, one about salt water marshes and a book of pirate stories from the Outer Banks.
Afterward, I went to Aviation Park, an outdoor 24 hour public facility that has a well-lit skateboard park and a flat track roller rink. Perfect for a former roller derby girl! The surface is amazing to skate and I can't wait for my first skate session with some local girls of the Outer Banks Roller Derby League this weekend. My behavior seemed like that of a local today but I still feel like I am on vacation and have to go home in a few days.
