Upon our arrival we took a walk around to inspect our surroundings. On the lake we spied the strangest looking creatures. We think they are some kind of goose as they are far too large to be ducks.
The weather was a bit drizzly, so we went for a drive around the historic district of the old city.
Then we got out and walked to take in all the amazing old homes and buildings.Lots of iron work, beautiful hidden gardens behind every fence and narrow streets.
We also walked along the battery to look out toward Fort Sumter where the colonists protected themselves against the British.
Marv had a couple of jobs while we were at this park…the favorite being a clogged up “black” tank. That’s the “poop” tank for you non-RVers.
I have been working long hours so Marv has been cooking more of the meals. We’ve discovered that he makes an exceptional pizza and even had his first try at making a pumpkin pie. We both agreed that it was very delicious.
It was also time to upgrade the bicycles to a more upright “old” people’s style and ones that would work equally well on pavement, dirt paths and gravel. A new bike for Marv while Ellen’s bike got a face-lift (new tires, brake pads, handlebars etc). Some of the newer components from Marv’s old bike were transferred to Ellen’s so now we will be able to get out for sight-seeing a bit better. We were wishing we’d had them in D.C., as we walked for miles there.
