| On our way to Charleston, Joseph was checking out Points of Interest on the GPS, and found the Cypress Gardens. Did you know that alligators don't eat after October? I asked the ranger if I could inform any gators that who tried to board our boat, and received permission. Knowledge is power. |

| Vashti the Fearless. She would give her life to protect her family, so she says. |

| You can't see it here, but the New Cooper River Bridge has a great biking/walking/jogging lane, which I hope to use someday in the future. Lots of people were taking advantage of it that day. The bridge is built to withstand a 7.4 earthquake. I'd rather not be on the bridge, myself, in an earthquake. |

| Looking in at the Market, formerly for buying and selling slaves. A large portion of it is now renovated for upscale shops, and accompanying upscale prices. |
 |
| Joseph packing heat--never hurts to be prepared. This is one of the last pictures I took before I dropped my camera and it expired. A moment of solemn silence for the departed, please. |

| Grace in front of the antebellum plantation house where my family lived for a couple of years, before I was born. The owner let "us" use the first floor (nobody lived in the rest of the house) because "we" needed a place to stay, and didn't have much money. "We" were so poor the church mice brought us cheese. :-) |
 |
| The slave cabin, I think, beside the mansion, that was our next family abode. |
