Hello, South Carolina!

Yes, finally!

I arrived in South Carolina yesterday afternoon--it was 100 degrees . . . and I was happy to stop driving!

It's hot here, but nice. I wasn't excited to have a snake slither in front of my car (about three feet long) before I even reached Ft. Jackson, but I digress . . .

Crazy weather - My camera focused
on the rain drops on the window,
but it was pouring outside!

The weather here is strange. Today, I went to the PX to pick up a few things. It was 91 degrees when I parked. When I left (about 20 minutes later), it was 71 degrees and POURING. I was soaked when I got to my car.

Once back to my room, the lightning became constant. There were thunderstorm warnings stating that there could be golf ball sized hail. Not good. Then the power went out. Some areas in Columbia are still without power. My lights are on, but I was operating on candlelight for awhile.

The weather here is crazy, but life is good.
