The one thing I'll never forget about today, is the heat. Oh my the heat. I've sweat in my day but I don't think I've ever reached this level of just pure sweat. It was roasting all day, from morning until night. BeforeI left Charleston I grabbed a bacon maple glazed donut from glazed. Glad I did because after that it was just heat. Heat heat heat.
I ended up having to buy a sweat band because of how hot it was and it is both a blessing and a curse. Blessing because sweat and sunscreen stay out of my eyes now, curse because wringing it out is gross. Just nasty.
Ate some barbeque at browns BBQ in Monk's corner and it was good. Buffet style serve with some mustard pulled pork and white fish. The fish was tasty and the pork sweet and full of flavor. Beans and rice in the side hit the spot. Though this barbeque was good apparently there was a place in town called music man's barbeque that was closed. I'll bet that place is amazing.
Stayed at a really weird camp/farm/commune type thing. Stayed there for free though and had a little A frame to call my own. Very unusual, very ghetto (I discovered there was a frog with me while I was showering) and a million mosquitoes but overall okay. Made some chili for dinner and made my skin burn with deet. Not a bad evening.
