Back in the USSR

You don't know how lucky you are..... We are back in South Carolina and just seeing the Spanish Moss hanging from the Live Oak Trees is uplifting. We drove all day and arrived in Charleston at four o'clock. We are now settled at the James Island County Park Campground. Unfortunately we were greeted by mosquitoes and I have not missed the biting bugs this summer. It is also very hot and we have no air conditioning except when we are driving. We have literally limped home. Our a/c is gone, awning cannot be used and now we have lost one of our windows. There is a small crank window in our bedroom and it was left open and blew off somewhere today. Hope it doesn't rain as we will have to duct tape plastic over it.  In addition our electric system is shot. But we are so happy to be close to home and everything can be fixed. Our site is spacious and shady and the park is a great place to walk and enjoy nature. The TV works and we have several channels we can watch. We feel wonderful and Sirius has turned out to be a terrific travel companion. For dinner we went to the Charleston Crab House right on the water. I had a Carolina platter with crab cake, fried shrimp and snow crab legs with melted butter. She Crab soup to start made it a perfect meal with a great view.

When we got back to the campground this big owl greeted us at the entrance. The park has a huge XMAS light display each year and they are getting ready.

A few days here to relax and some doctor's appointments and we should be home on Wednesday. Yeah!
