Road Scholar Program
Charleston, SC—non-biking adventure
March 12—17, 2017
Hello My Friends!
This week has been whirl of new places, info, people
As nineteen soon-to-be-friends gathered in Charleston—
Actually "Isle of Palms, S.C."
For fieldtrips, walking tours, lectures.
Much to view,
Much to learn and see.
Architecture,
Plantation history,
Gullah culture.
I've heightened awareness,
Expanded interest,
Small start on new information.
Friendly participants from many states,
Excellent staff tending to arrangements & connections.
Comfortable bus,
Beyond ample food.
Shortcoming of week was
Weather colder than Charleston has ever had.
28 degrees one morning.
Living in MN,
Accustomed to dressing for cold,
I totally missed "mark" for warm clothing,
Expecting warm weather.
Being cold makes it hard to really
Appreciate being outside
Seeing sights,
Hearing explanations,
Smiling for camera.
I see most of pictures have my scowl.
Know that I was cold,
Not unhappy.
Saturday, March 18, we take
Greyhound Bus to Asheville, N.C.
See Rose Bruce,
Warren Wilson College,
Asheville N.C.
Another adventure!
Hugs to all,
Lin
New friends in South Carolina cold!
