Day 50 of now "Returning from the Keys" 1/29/13

Well if you read my post from yesterday, you would know we were on our way to Beaufort, SC this morning,, BUT NOOOO !!! Woke up this morning to a fog that was so bad we could not even see the bldgs that were 50 ft from the boat. So we waited and waited and by 10 am or so it was still bad !! What a shame, we must spend another day!! Ahhhh!!!
We have walked and walked and walked. It was close to 80 degrees most of the day. We visited city market again ate breakfast at a little cafe that was once a filling station and garage turned into a breakfast and lunch cafe called Jay Christopher's!! How neat!!! Revisited some of the parks, visited the maritime museum and went into a magnificent church that had stain glass windows valued and insured for over a million dollars!! when purchased for the church they cost 8-10 thousand dollars. Just Beautiful!!!
We had ice cream and have eaten our self silly, we must leave here soon as we are already putting on weight!!! Ha. Dinner this evening was at a local Mexican restaurant Cilantros!!
Like I said we have eaten way to much, but sure have enjoyed each and every place !! There are vendors on every corner of River St., selling something, singing or playing an instrument. I had purchased a bouquet of Savannah roses that the locals make and sell here a couple of days ago. This evening we men a young guy that was able to give us the history behind the Savannah rose and of course I purchased a few more from him!!! A homeless, young, veteran making a living selling these beautiful hand make roses out of Palm leaves. I walked Lexie, Rodney stood and talked to him for almost and hour!!!
We will leave here tomorrow even if we get a late start as we must get on up the waterway toward home. We hoped to,spend a few days in Beaufort, SC but we will just have to see how the weather holds out for us and if time permits!
Love to all, Fran
