Our cruise to Charleston, SC took us through beautiful marshes with almost no other boats or houses. To me it looked like the Serengeti - while I have never been there, I thought that based on photos and films I have seen. During my visual hunt for alligators I saw a small dolphin and decided to also turn my lookout into one for dolphins. No alligator sightings but did see more tiny dolphins and lots of birds - all in all a really peaceful and pretty cruise. The state tree of South Carolina is the Palmetto (actually a grass but still the state tree). It wasn't long before the first palmetto tree was spotted and then within 30 minutes there were palmettos everywhere.
Debbie and Mike arrived at 4:30 - their arrival delayed 5 days by the hurricane but otherwise as we had planned. They delayed their departure from San Jose as well as spent a couple of days in Dallas and Waco doing some touring they had always wanted to do. We quickly got into the swing of things in Charleston (originally Charles Town in honor of King Charles II) by heading up to the rooftop bar at the Hotel Vendue for drinks, then to the Charleston Grill for dinner.
