Back again - or at least back to the computer. We stayed with a dear friend last night, after our drive from Chattanooga to near Augusta, GA. We love visiting her, but she doesn't have a computer - so no access for the laptop. Now, at the motel in Charleston, the good ol' laptop is connected again. But we survived!
The drive was long, but wonderfully uneventful. Today, we drove on back roads, through small towns and pine forests. Except for slowing down in the towns, I was able to keep it on cruise control at about 60 mph. Almost no traffic at all. I even let John drive for a little bit - he was SO bored with just sitting there.
We had to wait a while for our room to be available due to problems with some previous guests, but we finally got in. We didn't try to make any of today's ballgames. Paul got off work at 6. We picked him up and he let us take him out to dinner at Bowen's Island. If you're ever in Charleston, give this one a try. It's on stilts out in the marsh, and I guarantee that it looks like no health inspector has ever been on the premises, but if you want fresh and freshly steamed oysters served to your table by the literal shovel-ful, plus wonderful boiled shrimp and fried fish - this is the place. Paul does know the kind of places we like.
Our Lady Mocs first game is about half past noon tomorrow. We'll be there to cheer them on.
Here's a picture of Paul last Christmas.
