After my long, arduous Amtrak ride, my bro picked me up and we arrived at our AirBnB in the Isle of Palms, a small coastal tourist town that reminded me so much of Destin.
The kettle was one I brought, a collapsible kettle TYG bought me for con trips. Good thing I brought it as I didn’t find one in the kitchen. Here’s a look at the outside of the building, with bonus bunny.
The Destin resemblance is that the Isle of Palms on the water, very touristy and many of the rental properties are much in the same style. There’s also a familiar style of tourist shop selling the usual tchotchkes.
Don’t get me wrong, it was a good place to stay. Harris Teeter and some restaurants within walking distance. And the beach. Black-headed gulls seemed to be the dominant gull species, unlike back in the Florida panhandle. Though it was surprisingly hard compared to Durham to find a place with vegetarian meals, let alone vegan for my bro.
Along with the black-headed gulls, they also had flamingos.
Sunday and Monday mornings I visited the beach in the early morning which was cool.
More photos next week!
