The flights to South Carolina Saturday were easy and uneventful. We had to call the owner of the house to find out where the wireless router and cable modem are located because the network wasn’t working. (The prospect of a week without internet was actually kind of scary-sad…) After standing rather precariously on a chair to power cycle the network equipment, all was well with the world. We had lunch at Fudruckers and dinner at Lonestar because they’re easy and reliable and required absolutely no decision making of our tired brains. There’s nothing worse than having to actually read a menu when you’re foolishly tired from travel…
Sunday we walked down to the beach where there were many dead cannonball jellyfish. (There are photos, they’re just still on the camera. We figured out what type they are but we’re still not sure why they’re dead. Perhaps they were having a jellyfish party and didn’t notice that it was time for the tide go out. And some of them might not be quite dead yet as they were closer to the water.)
The weather is gorgeous despite the dead invertebrates. We had lunch at my favorite pizza place down here (yum), learned about kayaking tours (which I now want to do at least one of) and bought sandals, hung around and did very little, etc. I’ve been assured by a very nice man at the Outside store that I an unlikely to flip the kayaks they provide. Eventually we went out and had dinner at Frankie… er.. something. Frankie Bones! Divine steak (which I fully plan to try to reproduce myself), a string of tasty drinks and smores for dessert. That’s right, smores. They let me play with fire at the table. It was awesome.
Today, there are no plans yet… I could quite happily sit around and read or write or nap or go to the beach again.
