What a great and friendly city. The food is marvelous (had grits and fried green tomatoes at “Magnolias” last night, oh and some Pecan Pie too) Took a carriage ride around the old city pulled by mules…to get an overview of this place. The nice people at the visitor center helped us book a B&B “King George IV” ; a lovely room and parlor done in red and black with lots of antiques and its own entrance. Today we took a boat out to Fort Sumter; the site of the first shots of the Civil War .We have really boned up on our southern history on this trip and have walked everywhere. Currently, we await our turn at tropical storm “Ida” which is taking it’s time getting here…promising 2-4 inches of rain.

I am glad I get to live through you, as I don’t think I would be brave enough to eat some of the things you are trying….hee hee I also don’t know that I could stay at a place with red and black and lots of antiques….I know I am so bad…..:-( You will have to give me a history lesson when you get back…..:-) Lastly, I want to hear that you are out of there before the storm hits….:-)
ps: Glad to hear that you are being able to walk around so much!! Hopefully that means you are not in any pain…:-)
