Folly Beach, SC

Filed under: Our Travels — Tags: , — Calico & Jon @ 5:27 pm

When you come to Folly Beach, one must slow down, stop, and smell the locust tree or sit back and listen to the birds chirping. Or if you feel like looking for hidden treasures washed in from the sea, you can ride your bike along the shore and find all sorts of shells, sand dollars, and if you are really lucky, perhaps a shark tooth! Today has been the perfect day. Jon’s friend, Rick (better known as Rasta Rick) took us on a sweet guided boat tour around Folly Beach and James Island. He took us to Morris Island – to the tip of the island which was a long sand bar flanked by a beautiful, old lighthouse. We ventured off the boat and walked all over the island and found some really cool sand dollars! We saw dolphins, a loggerhead turtle, (well, they all saw the turtle) osprey, and pelicans galore! Wireless doesn’t work on our computers here so blogging has been challenging! But, we are enjoying our time here hanging out with Rasta Rick and his super nice girlfriend, Ria eating amazing fish tacos, guacamole, and frozen orange screwdrivers….which are pretty damn tasty, I might add! I will try to post more later, but for now, I need to relax. :-)
