Those who read the last post will remember we just arrived in Greenville, SC for a quick get away. After finding that our old house was standing, we ventured off to meet some friends. Ironically they were not old Greenville friends but some recent transplants. We went by and saw their very cool new house and then headed off to downtown for some lunch and reminiscing.
When we lived in Greenville there were falls at the end of main street but no park. Somewhere in the last few decades they built a park with a really cool curved suspension bridge. As luck would have it, the bridge was under renovation.
We had to trek down the old fashion way to see the falls and take selfies. They look sort of small until you see the people in the corner and get the full scale.
We spent a bit more time walking down the river looking at the ruins of the old mill.
Now how do you tell these are ruins from a mill? CC told me and I am sure she is right. I did enjoy some of the nature, like this tree growing out the side of a hill. I could have done with a little less heat. I figured going to the foothills would cool things off, instead it was hotter.
Now one cool thing was staying at the Marriott by the airport. First they had a double shower head. Never underestimate a great shower. Second, for the second time I could technically see my plane from the hotel room. Yes, it is just a blur in the picture but if I had a longer lens it would have been sharp.
In the evening we went downtown and acted trendy. We saw an improv group at the Coffee Underground.
Yes it is underground and the theatre is even less fancy.
After the show we strolled Main Street and stopped by the hotel where we stayed the night of our wedding. After that we grabbed some food and called it a night.
