En Route
Sitting in the Charleston, SC airport for a flight back to chilly Seattle after 4+ days of walking barefoot on the beach (Click to enlarge)
Rode bikes, paddled kayaks and ate lots - too much, I’m sure - Low Country food, and had a wonderful time with brothers, sisters-in-law, one step-niece, one grand-step-niece and one aunt.
Here’s an amusing pic from a bike ride we took into Murrell’s Inlet:
Running for the gate. Perhaps more pics when I decompress.
I saw a “Christian tour” bus parked near the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History, but I did not find an intelligent design exhibit inside the museum. Puzzling.
Your trip sounds like Great Fun!! Love the Tour Bus picture, that is so funny!!
The blog about the Joshua Tree Park trip included a photo of a “fascinating portable cello.” A customer of mine in Germany, who also owns one of these instruments, happened to see it and told me about it. I’m the guy who makes those cellos. (Have made & sold over 400 of them.) I’m always happy to see photos of my instruments being played in far-away places!
Fortunately there are still a few craftsmen. It’s too bad that I cannot play any instrument.
I must acknowledge that the proprietor of this blog is in great shape.
Looks like you had a great time. I love the beach shot; I can almost taste the salt air and feel the water around my feet as the waves lazily lap around me.
KathyR - They must have gotten one sometime in the last 8 years?
Ms. Lea - Yes, it was nice to loll on the beach.
Ernest - It was truly mindbending to hear that sound in the desert wilderness. Congratulations!
May - Thanks, but I’m the one on the right, not the left!
Springer - Yeah, but the shorts are back in the drawer and the sandals are in the back of the closet again.
You (you, the male on the right) look much younger than your age.
Ack - Beach hair! Our five year old grand step niece, who is indeed a grand little girl, warned me my hair was going to “get big”!
You both look disgustingly healthy. I’m off for a bracing walk.
Mr. Nussbaum, what an amazing gift to the world!
Looks like a fun family trip, Phil. And Mrs. P, your hair looks just fine! Invariably I too suffer from Brillo Head on the East Coast — not something I miss in the slightest!
Phil, have I overlooked the coming of the new camera? Didja get it yet? Is it uber-cool??
Oh, and Dick…remember, they’re just a couple of youngsters!
(Youngsters who happen to have been actively athletic their entire lives, but still, you know, young…and innocent as to the manner in which their joints too will eventually betray them)
Off for a doddering amble.
May - OK, I concede!
Dick & Carroll - we can do wheelchair races in a cuppla years!
Carroll - no, no camera yet. I want to buy it from my camera store client, but they didn’t get delivery until after we were gone last week, and then they sold both of them. Should have one when I get home from Milwaukee.
