I will readily admit the lack of instant internet access is driving me somewhat nuts. The last time I was here, the zero in netzero still meant free and I just used one of their dialup numbers for the week.
Today was putt-putt day. Three courses in three hours. During the hottest damn part of the day - but they are definitely not crowded. Lost Treasure gets my vote as the best for a couple reasons: a) the train that takes you to the top of the mountain to start and b) about 1/4 of the holes are in “caves”, so you have lots of shady spots.
Carolina Seafood tonight. A paradise of gluttony, aka seafood buffet. Very, VERY good food, and oh so much of it to pick from. Place opens at 4:30 and folks are in line at 4PM, and we were amongst them. :) Oh so very good. Lisa scares me - she isn’t much bigger than I am, ate what seemed to be half her weight in crab legs, and admitted upon getting back to the house that she was still a little bit hungry… We’ve decided she’s not human.
When driving about, found that the Vitamin Sea surf shop is now a gift shop of some sort - may have to make some phone calls to see if perhaps they moved. I do hope so, as they were one of the best down here, and totally independent. I like businesses like that. Speaking of independent vs chains, I’ve yet to see a Starbucks down here - I had figured for sure that one would have popped up somewhere.
Sunburn has faded for the most part, but I think it may be another day before I hit the beach again, no need to make it worse.
Little bro & friends are leaving tomorrow night to head back home and I’ve got the place to myself for the next week. I do miss my critters - it would totally kick ass if I could bring them along with me.
