Raleigh



This was a fun picture because it captured a scenic view of Raleigh,NC (my home town) from the convention center. Too bad Sir Walter Raleigh never made it to Raleigh....

Facts about Sir Walter Raleigh:

  1. 1. Sir Walter Raleigh spoke with a soft Devonshire accent.
  2. In 1592 Raleigh falls out of favour with Queen Elizabeth when she discovered that he married her maid, Bessie Throckmorton.
  3. Sir Walter was a poet and was beheaded in Spain.
