We couldn't be this close to Bluffton and not catch up with Nat, so she came down and had brunch with us at Little Duck Diner.  We put our name down as she left her place and we got the call up just as she arrived 45 minutes later.  This place is jumping, and the food excellent.  The little ducks in the drinks are a nice little touch.

L is not feeling the best (his arm is still sore, and allergies are rampant), so he heads back to the hotel while A,B& I head over and purchase tickets for the Old Town Trolley.  This jump on jump off trolley will take us to various sights around town, with commentary, and we can get out and explore as we please.  We get on at Franklin Square and the trolley takes us through the middle of town and then south to Madison Square, where we get out to see the Sorrel-Weed House.  Back on to the next stop, in the middle of Forsyth Park, after we have driven around the edge of the park.  Great spot to get out and just wander.  WE walked to the next stop for the trolley to pick us up and take us on to the Cathedral of ST John.  This beautiful old Catholic Church stands out in a beautiful city.  We spent some time inside before getting back on the trolley to ride out the rest of the afternoon.  We skipped the next 7 stops, opting just to enjoy the scenery and take in the history.  The trolley took us back down to the river, past the Pirate House and the Colonial Park Cemetery, before we got off near Chippewa Square.  L was ready to meet us then, so he walked up to meet us, we got ice cream and then walked back down towards the river to wander the stores and stalls, and find a spot for dinner.

We went back to the hotel before dinner and saw one of the coolest sights.  A fully stacked cargo ship was coming into port and cruised by our window.  It is ridiculous how enormous these things are.  We're on the 6th floor of the hotel and the shipped dwarfed us.  It was massive.  I can't fathom being in the middle of the ocean on one of these giant ships, just absolutely packed with goods to be imported.

Dinner was on the river at Graffito Pizza.  A really good pizza and fresh food.  We decided on beignets for dessert so walked down to Huey's.  This topped of a great, fulfilling day.  We're exhausted!  Sleep comes easily tonight.
