And then there was..........SUN!!

Four miserable days of near constant rain, temperatures hovering just above freezing, and sometimes below at night, and today the sun came out. It only got up to about 10 degrees but it felt like a heat wave.

On the advice of a good friend "back home" we had Sunday brunch at the Hominy Grill in Charleston. Bloody Mary's, grits and eggs for breakfast, it doesn't get any better.

Speaking of back home, we have been hearing that the lobster season, which opened a few days before we left, is going gangbusters and they're only $5 per pound. Hope there are few left when we get home. We're having leftover chicken tonight.

Two nights ago we went to the Dock Street Theatre to see "A Christmas Carol", trying to get into the Christmas Spirit. It was a really good production. Christmas is a little different here. There's no snow even though most of the Southern States just got several inches. Not many homes in town display lights and the few that do use only white lights (bylaw?). I have a funny feeling that our next stop, Savannah will be much different. I've always thought of Savannah as Charleston's promiscuous sister.

We head to Savannah tomorrow.

I know! Where are the pictures??! Well if my new fangled phone would just talk to my old fangled laptop, we would have some pictures. It was so simple in Windows 95....
From now on I'm going to use my old fangled camera, which still has a conversational relationship with my old fangled laptop.

Here's a street in Charleston. They have some big old trees here.

See you in Savannah tomorrow.
