DAY SEVEN OF SOUTH CAROLINA TRIP

Peg and I walked to the ZION CHAPEL OF EASE CEMETERY where William Edings Baynard is buried.  He was a wealthy cotton planter.  He built his own mausoleum in 1846 and it is the oldest structure on the island.

We met up with David back at the condo.  The plans were for the three of us to go to GODS GOODS (a consignment shop) and then drop David off at his golf course and then go to Bluffton for the afternoon.  However, I had a bout of diarrhea and stayed at the condo.  After dropping David off, Peggy came back and picked me up.  

We drove to Bluffton. Our first stop was at the Heyward House Visitors Center. 

We picked up a map of a walking tour, looked around at the period rooms inside

and checked out the replica of a slaves cabin

and a kitchen out in the rear.

  Then we headed out to explore.  We followed the walking tour map and saw several historic houses.  This particular one was not in the brochure/map, but I think it is one of the most interesting houses we saw.

  We also checked out  area with the small shops.  Peg referred to it as THE PROMENADE, she has been there before.  We went into this Spanish grocery store:

Then we went to the Bluffton Oyster Company

 The business is built on shells from previous shucking operations  over the last 200 years.

Then to the library (I found the Bluffton Bookmark Geocache) and bought a bunch of non fiction books at the BOOK SALE, for a quarter each.  

and then to the Palmetto Oaks Sculpture Garden

picked David up

and rushed to get to Stellini's in time for the early bird special.  We just made it.  I had the eggplant parmesan

Back to the condo..................I was exhausted.
