We went to the Bee City Zoo, where we were attacked by parakeets, spit on by llamas, and hand fed kangaroos, giraffes, and monkeys. Robin particularly loved petting the bunnies, especially the little black baby bunny that hopped around all over the place. So fun.

We went into Charleston today and spent way more money than we should have. The weather eased a little and it was much cooler than the last few days. Robin traded her phone for a very expensive, very cute pair of shoes that brought big smiles to her face and happiness to my heart. Christina fished Robin’s pen out of the Edisto River and touched a branch in the water even though it had a spider on it. An action-packed day.

We visited Fort Sumter today. We humans have so much history to learn from and yet it feels like we’ve learned so little. Today I stood in the same place where soldiers fought for the integrity of the United States of America over 150 years ago. I could see the artillery in the walls. There were fingerprints in the bricks that were made and laid by hand. And what of that integrity they fought so hard for? Have we come so far since then? Humanity is such a challenge.

We checked Congaree National Park off our list today! We hiked a trail that was described as a good opportunity to spot otters. Unfortunately the creek was almost completely dried up so we didn’t see any. But all the cypress knees were pretty cool.

We have a cute AirBnB in South Carolina for the next few days, right on a little river. Looking forward to exploring the next few days.
