After a very slow start, we packed up the car (which took some careful planning...we have enough stuff for a trip out west for 2 months) and headed to Charleston's Beach resort, Folly Beach. It is a small resort about 20 minutes from downtown. It consists of only local businesses, a stretch of about 3 miles total. Very quaint and quiet, at least at the moment. In the middle of the town at the end of the only road in, is a large hotel, which probably houses most visitors. Fortunately, they had a great beach bar, where we camped out in the shade mind you. Temp was 97 degrees.
We headed out around 3 and headed for Savannah. Hotel is in a questionable neighborhood by my city standards, but I am assured it is a safe area. We walked to the Riverfront, an area that has been restored from the 1700's, with businesses and restaurants. A little touristy for my taste, but the architecture is quite amazing. ANd Spanish miss is everywhere. Unlike in Charleston, where it was wiped out with Hurricane Hugo.
Think I need to get this group moving...they are still sleeping. Pics later..camera in charging.
