I'm sure you are all familiar with the dinnertime game "Rose, Bud, Thorn," so here are the highs, the lows, and what I am looking forward to on the rest of time in the South.
Rose: There are many including seeing my shipmate and touring a brewery for free, meeting up with my CYA provider/CC/Mountain School/it's a small world after all friend for dinner and shopping in Chapel Hill, eating Chipotle last night after going through withdrawal this summer, etc etc.
Bud: Later today I plan to visit the local maritime museum here in Charleston and explore the historic district.
Thorn: I had a near death experience yesterday while driving from Chapel Hill to Charleston. After spending hours completely out of my element, driving surrounded by nothing but cotton and tobacco fields, cemeteries, and gun shops, I really had to stop to pee. I finally saw a gas station ahead and pulled over. Bad choice. The whole place reeked of smoke, there were cigarette buts and dip all over the floors, and the bathroom was probably the most disgusting place I have ever been. I will not gross you out with the details, but I had to go so badly I couldn't wait another hour until the next gas station, so I sucked it up, donned some toilet paper mittens to protect myself, held my breath, and then got out of there as fast as I could.
