Beach Street

 Gale force winds.  That's what was predicted so we stayed put another night and day.  What do you do with an extra day?  And no car?  Walk.  So we walked to Beach Street and checked out the stores we have been driving by all these weeks and have not had a chance to visit.  The best part of gale winds means a cold front pushed through and the temperature was an awesome 63 degrees this morning!

First, the post office to mail a package home.  What an amazing building with intricate architecture!  And the clerk was super nice and helpful!

Then, Nicole's Beach Street Mall, a collection of oddities and antiques (emphasis on the oddities!).  I'm just sorry QT is too small to add anything new at this time.  I may regret not buying the snowshoes (necessity) and the bikini (shame I already have too many bathing suits).

Then the next obvious stop was Angell & Phelps Chocolate Factory.  I purposely ate lunch before leaving knowing I should not contemplate chocolate purchases when hungry.

Chocolate covered bacon (I had to buy one slice), chocolate covered potato chips (again I had to buy a small amount) and fudge.  Overall I think we made it out of the store without going overboard.  They will make great bedtime snacks while on anchor.  I want to know who thinks of making hair dressing accessories in chocolate?

The rest of the afternoon was spent planning our anchorages for the next few weeks on our way to Georgia.  Where to anchor, where to dinghy and which cities to explore in addition to a marina in Savannah took some time. We are so excited!!
