Myrtle Beach and Raleigh

I continued my love affair with South Carolina by heading up the coast to Myrtle Beach.  I stayed at the Wyndham Resort there for 4 days.  This is a very old and very developed area, and when one sees the beaches, it's not surprising.  It's a very long beach, miles, and I spent a fair amount of time walking.  I played golf a couple of times, but had to go very early in the morning because of the heat.  I've been slowly shaving a few strokes off my golf score and am tending to score in the high 80's.

This was really my last time for awhile of being mostly alone.  I realized that since I got to Destin, I've been on my own.  When I leave Myrtle Beach, I'll be starting a time of being with friends and family for awhile.  I like both.  I'm needing to be with people a little bit right now.  Although I get on well with the people I interact with day to day, they're mostly service people, so are short conversations.  That's one of the benefits of golf. I get to talk to nice people I just met for several hours.  I'm looking forward to seeing some friends and family coming up.

I'm continuing to enjoy really good southern style seafood, and everyone is commiserating about the Gulf oil spill, and very worried about the livelihoods of the people affected.  

I left Myrtle Beach and took off for Raleigh to see my friend Michele.  We only had one night to catch up on what we're both doing and have some fun, but we had a great dinner and chatted into the evening.  The next morning she had to go to work and I was off to Williamsburg, Virginia.
