Spring has sprung in Charleston. The weather is beautiful - warm and sunny with a cool breeze. The trees are flowering and growing fresh green leaves.
 |
| Nothing is more beautiful in the spring than the light green haze on trees as their leaves are beginning to grow in. |
 |
| The city is bursting with colorful flowers like these azaleas. |
We kicked off the St. Patrick's Day weekend by attending the parade which started on King Street right after a celebratory mass at St. Patrick's Church.
 |
| Vintage cars and trucks decorated for the holiday were a big part of the parade. |
 |
| You can't have a St. Patrick's Day parade without a bagpipe band. |
 |
| There were two groups of Irish dancers. |
 |
| This fire truck had a saying on the side, "Do the right thing, do it the right way, and do it for the right reason." |
 |
| Colorful balloons decorated one float. |
This week we have continued Bob's birthday celebration with visits to some of our favorite lunch restaurants. Riding our bikes into town for lunch has been great fun.
 |
| When we return from our outings we usually find Lola on top of the companionway watching for our return. |
We have only two more weeks in Charleston before we begin our journey north. So many restaurants - so little time!
Thank you for reading my blog.
