I found a $300/mo apt. on Folly Beach and a job on Seabrook. It was a great uber-laid back place to live, but hurricanes have a way of changing things.

"Hymans" has better food though. "Gillians" is good but a bit difficult to find being off the beaten path out of town a bit... We have done all the tourist stuff, aquarium, battle ships, carriage ride, etc. The Harbor boat ride was very full of info. My favorite thing to do is to stroll around the back streets and check out the beautiful homes and wonderful gardens!Skeeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222522533934405029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-40700341502471841222008-06-23T17:00:00.000-05:002008-06-23T17:00:00.000-05:00You took some great photos.
