On to Charleston, South Carolina...not before seeing our friend....
looks like he had a rough night last night....
didn't even wake up when I walked by with Gracie this time....
he must have been up all night rummaging!!


The landscape has stayed much the same....large mossy trees....
waterways as far as you can see....bridges....and more boats....and more bridges...


Only had a few hours to go again today....chore day....
I miss my own washer and dryer....

Off the Charleston for a few hours as we are only here for 2 nights.  Only about 25 minutes from the campsite to downtown....



I take pics of these in hopes that I can recreate them at home....never turn out the same..

Aircraft carrier being refurbished... 


I cannot pass by a swing.....

Apparently neither can Joe...




This is the FIRST fountain we have come across that you are allowed and actually
 encouraged to play in!! 
How Cool! except no dogs allowed....or if you have diarrhea....you must shower before???
 not sure where?...maybe in the fountain itself?


This is Rainbow Row....the longest intact row of Georgian row houses in the USA...
dating back to 1680...



...window shopping again...

And the darker side of the area....

Sun setting over Charleston....

Happened upon an Evening Market....artisans and crafters and music....and boiled peanuts!!
We have been seeing the signs for Boiled Peanuts everywhere....I really wanted to try some.....
Wish we hadn't...YUK!!! like mushy yuckness!!!! EWWWWW not sure why anybody would want to eat these???

It's been windy for quite some time....like weeks...this morning it's pretty calm...but they are calling for more wind in the afternoon..... Decided to ride our bikes into St. George and check it out...really small casual little beach city... More white sandy beaches....this time with lots of shells...spent a good hour shell hunting... We saw lots of crab holes in the ground...apparently they are called "ghost crabs" and they only come out at night and they are almost transparent.. I was so excited when I spotted this shell.....but somebody was inside... and this baby crab on the outside!!! They have these really cute "tiny narrow rental homes".... these are the first skinny homes we have seen!! Saw dolphins in the distance for the first time today....super excited....George has to "make me move one" ....because I could stay all day and watch them... Biked out on the fishing bridge....this one goes out qui...

Today is the day....we must leave New York....it`s been great... it`s been expensive....and it`s time to go... Gracie may have wanted to visit this place...but no Dog Spa for her... Today is also the day we will part paths with Brother Joe...we will head West....because we must....he will have another direction...we will miss him....has been a great time travelling with him. It took us almost an hour to wind our way out of Jersey City...it was raining...and I swear Roxanne had us going in circles....there was detour after detour...and some ridiculously narrow streets.....but we made it......we had no idea where we were...the skies were grey and dismal and we just seemed to be going around and around..... And then this crazy horrible sign appeared...WTF....WEST!!! What is that!!!! It wasn`t long before we left the busy streets for rolling hill of trees...it is just so green and so hilly.... I love this one...it`s the first we have ever seen...... ...

It's a pretty fitting day to leave the beach...it's raining....it's still warm...but it's still raining.... Taking a ferry today instead of dealing with the traffic...won't take any time off our trip...but will take the miles off our trip...cost wise...not too sure...but if it can eliminate a few hours on the road in the city...it's worth it. This bird decided to build a nest in the busiest place ever!!! Right at the Ferry Terminal... And all along the way....Dophins.....Yay!! I will never tire of seeing them playing in the water! So before long we are on the New Jersey Turnpike.... which just means .....toll....after toll.....after toll.... and you have no idea which lane you are supposed to be in... Nightmare! Marty!!!.... You will love this....... You know all those American dimes and nickels I was saving.... Finally had a chance to use them.... Oh the look on his face when I gave him $6.00 in dimes and nickels!!! W...
