Charleston

We drove to Charleston today. We took a city tour and then a trip to Fort Sumter. You have to give credit to the Carolinians for the resistance they put up. It wasn't until the Union troops came up with cannons that could send shells 7 miles and then explode on impact that changed the course. The Union troops literally flattened Charleston and the Confederates couldn't do anything to stop them. War is ugly.

Paris Island Marine Base

We stopped at the visitor center yesterday. We thought there would be tours and displays but when I spoke with the Marine in charge, he wanted to know which marine I had come to visit. Opps. There was a museum about two blocks away so we went to it. It was a very complete display of training and the conflicts that they served in. Later we walked the beach and I even walked among all the clams exposed by the low tide.

Hilton Head

We are exploring Hilton Head Area. Yesterday we drove to Savannah and took a day tour. We finished eating at Paula Deans Restaurant. I'm not familiar with her but Karen and Tinker watch her TV Program so we ate there- Hi Ya'all. Here are some pictures.

Michael and Danny Maruji speak Portuguese.

Now that I have a new case, how do I take pictures?


Ya hoo, Candy!

Hmm another wrapping paper gift. Or is this a niny peice of coal

What, a crock pot. Does this mean you really want me to cook!





We opened presents and welcomed the Marujij's. Here are some of the pictures we took.
