The journey to Isle of Palms was an arduous two hour drive that was made a wee bit longer due to the misfortune of some Federal Express truck driver. For reasons unknown, the vehicle rolled over (a few times apparently) and traffic backed up on highway 26 for a few miles. If per chance your package happened to be in that vehicle then you are probably already aware that, at least Saturday, the world was not on time.
Oops.
I am now a nice candy apple red upon most of my body and the pain of sun burn makes me move a bit slower but I’m surviving. The South Carolina sun took its toll as hour after hour at the Isle of Palms beach passed and I failed to consider the consequences of enjoying such a blistering sun without any protective ointment.
Life's a Beach
That little outing aside, I’ve been diligently hammering away on the Tagalog and enjoying the South Carolina sites that are in the area. The Rupps
Rupp Family
As of now there are only 5 days remaining until I leave for the Philippines and my excitement has not by any means abated. I am looking forward to visiting my newly acquired friends there as well as visiting the extended Rupp family in Bacolod. Time is truly flying by and it won’t be long before everything and everyone here is either a vague memory or a silhouette hidden behind an email. But as the saying goes, these are the days of our lives…..
