Spent this morning touring Beaufort. Many of the homes date back to before the civil war, and they have been beautifully maintained. The streets are shaded with overhanging tree branches, very pretty town. Visited St. Helena's Episcopal church which dates back to the 1700's. The earliest grave in the attached graveyard is from 1724. Many of the graves have the confederate flag on them, indicating that the person buried there fought for the confederates in the "American war of aggression".

| In one place, the tree branch arching over the street is only 10 ft off the ground, there is a warning sign, but it looks as if it has been hit a few times. |
 |
| The houses are beautiful, and the mature trees add so much |
 |
As in Savannah, many of the houses have their front door up one level, often with arches around the windows on the lower level.

This marina has a courtesy car, borrowed it this afternoon and got a few groceries, oil for the next oil change which is due soon. Went out for dinner with Jim and Kathy from Married With Her and Barb and John from Scoperta, other loopers staying here. Beautiful warm day today, cooler night. There are a few noseeums, but not nearly as many as we saw a few miles south of here.
