Our last two days in Myrtle Beach

Yesterday was a sunny and somewhat warmer day than it has been in the last few weeks.  We went to Barefoot Landing to walk around, and enjoy the good weather.  First though, we stopped at a local diner to have southern fried chicken.  It was delicious.  Crispy seasoned chicken, corn bread, and rice and gravy.  Not low cal by any means, and the portions were huge, but as a 'once in a blue moon' treat, it was great.  And, after eating all of that, I definitely needed to walk off all the calories!

Barefoot Landing was rather deserted at this time of year, but I did get a few pictures of the local residents.

 The cormorants were sunning themselves in the parking lot.  Even though we parked next to them, and could walk right up to take their photo, they weren't interested in moving.

 Seems everyone was out enjoying themselves.  There were several colonies of turtles on the water's edge, all basking in the sun.

 

 I would have thought it's obvious that alligators might bite.  I guess not, because I've seen other signs that read "Do Not Feed the Alligators". 

 

After walking around, Walter treated me to ice cream.  Even an ice cream cone here is bigger.  The smallest size was a very generous double scoop.  I had butter pecan, and Walter had orange sherbet.  Both yummy! On top of the fried chicken at lunch, though, it meant that supper was delayed until we were both hungry. 

 

Today it was supposed to rain, but never did.  In fact the sun came out, and the temperature climbed to 18C.   We played our final game of golf at Tupelo Bay Golf Course.  We've played it three times while we were here.  I managed to stay out of most of the sand traps, and only had one ball go in the water.  Walter, being the chivalrous fellow that he is, retrieved it for me. 

 

While we waiting to tee off on one of the holes, we saw a swan in one of the water hazards.  Just happened to have my camera with me.

 

 

We finished the day off by having supper at the Bonefish Grill.  Tomorrow, we'll be heading for home.  We've had a great time, and like all good things, it must come to an end.  It will be nice to get back to our own house.
