Today will be cooler again so Gracie gets to go to Charleston with us...yay!!
 I always feel a little sad when we leave her....I am sure she is okay with it but I feel guilty...

But not today!



Spent a few hours looking at the old buildings again...Because these houses are historic you cannot do anything...I mean anything to them without an approval process...I even read one that was applying for a permit to fix a shutter....not replace it or anything...just fix it.!!


The theme for today seemed to be doors? not sure why....but they just interested me today..




Here's one for you Charlene! You would love the flowers here!


We are starting to see some of the Sweetgrass Baskets around this part.  
They are gorgeous and they take so long for these ladies to make....they really are a piece of art...
but we just don't have a use for a $65.00 basket....as lovely as they are...we just admire them...

And like all the old cities here....Churches are in abundance..I think I read there are over 300 churches in Charleston. That's alot.



And this one is for George ....See Nicole...we are right...they call them Graveyards!!

We left the city in search of a Dog Friendly Patio that is not in the sun....it's getting hot now...and with the humidity usually hovering around 85% or so....it feels really hot!

We found this nice area that we had visited before where the waterway is lined with outdoor pubs and restaurants and walkways....

And a great place for lunch and drinks.



And my all-time favourite thing to do....Dolphin Watching!!!
OMG I love them!!!
We have been lucky to see dolphins almost every other day since we have been near the water.




Adorable funny birds....

And then ugly ducks at our campsite!!! They look prehistoric!!

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...
