We went to the University of South Carolina Beaufort campus' Arts Center to see this Gospel program......and it was exceptional!
The program consisted of three sections: Spiritual Music.....Contemporary Christian Music.....and Contemporary Gospel Music. Each segment contained several songs and they were all magnificently performed by the two Choirs with support from the USCB choir band. Pam had seen the article in the Island News weekly newspaper and we heard about it also from a lady we have come to know a bit from the Farmers' Markets in Bluffton and Port Royal. The program lasted for about an hour and a half, and we were very happy that we went. This is a trip highlight!!
Speaking of Farmers' Markets......we have a PENGUIN SIGHTING....at the Bluffton, SC Farmers' Market. Bluffton has an excellent Farmers' Market with lots of fresh vegetables, many bakery booths and several specialty food booths.
Here is Christine's Creperie....where you can get either savory or dessert crepes....or both if you have a mind to do so. Pam ordered one of the sweet selections....the "Made in Heaven" crepe......
And here she is with her Made in Heaven...which consisted of dark chocolate and strawberries, with a few scoops of whipped cream for good measure. Christine, it turns out, and her husband-helper, are both from England, so Pam was right at home chatting up a storm with them while in the order line. She did let me have a taste....albeit a small one....and it was quite good.
Here are some of the other Market offerings.....
Good looking stuff, eh? Well, we did come back to the motorhome with some fresh tomatos, lettuce, pickling cukes and radishes. We steered clear of the collard greens as they can turn out a bit 'slimy' on the plate if not prepared properly. So we and the penguins and Ali, of course, had a great time at both the Bluffton and Port Royal Farmers' Markets.
Turned out to be a good weekend of getting out and about and enjoying a few things as we continue to eat our way through the South Carolina lowcountry!!! We also managed to tend to battery maintenance (we have 6 of them in the motorhome) as part of weekend chores. Now we look forward to our last full week here in SC before moving on to the Jacksonville, FL area.
Sorry to mention this to our friends from the North Country....but we have been the last several days enjoying temps in the 60's.....and Tues/Wed coming they say mid 70's.....so stay warm up North!!
To close the blog here is a short video Pam recorded on her phone......this is our first video posting attempt so hope it works.....
