Headed from Myrtle Beach to Little River S.C. And crossing into North Carolina.
Literally in the middle of nowhere.
Sharman took numerous pictures of the birds following the boat as it churned up
shrimp. It was right out of Alfred Hitchcock. They literally followed us for miles.
We stopped in Georgetown S.C which was a real gem. At one time it was one of the
largest rice producers in the U.S. , and before the Cival War was one of the wealthiest
cities in the south. It has had an International Paper mill in continous operation for over
100 years.
The homes here were your typical 200+ year old plantations. Historians in Georgetown
aren't quite sure about actual ages of homes. During the Cival War the founding fathers
feared that General Sherman would come to Georgetown and destroy the town so they
shipped all real estate records upstate. A fire destroyed all the records before the war
ended.
Second oldest African American church in the south and oldest in North Carolina. It is
also the church that Michele Obamas grandparents were married in and attended in the
early 1900's. The organ stopped working in the 70's and was never repaired even
though this congregation is quite wealthy.
Town clock in Georgetown, one of the nicest
cities on the east coast.
Entrepreneurs took advantage of every bit of space and turned
The space between buildings into an extension of the restaurant.
