We took a small ferry to an island in North Carolina's Outer Banks called Ocracoke. This is a picture of the tower where the captain steers from. It is very skinny so there is a lot of room for cars on both sides of it. Ocracoke is the island where Blackbeard the pirate was killed.
There were wild ponies on this island as well. The ponies in this picture are in pens. These ponies are directly related to wild mustangs in Spain. They have certain features that only the wild mustangs and these horses have. That is because their ancestors were some of the ones that came over on the Spanish Galleons in the 1500s.
Later we looked out at the surf washing up on the beach, and we saw porpoises surfing and playing in the waves. They were very cute!
Then we took a very large ferry boat from Ocracoke Island to Cedar Island, also in North Carolina. A lot of seagulls chased the boat because they wanted people to feed them, so I fed them bread.
