Visiting Blogger Enjoys Elmo's Diner, Duke Gardens

"...we had some time to explore the city of Durham, home of Duke University. We had breakfast at Elmo’s Diner... We had some delicious pumpkin pancakes and asked the waitress (who was really nice) what we should do/see. She suggested the Duke University gardens. What a great suggestion! There is a great blue heron living in one of the ponds and luckily lots of shade cause it was pretty hot."
