fuego451's Journal: In the house

Moved in a few weeks ago and still in the process of getting our stuff straightened out. Our neighbors, a great bunch of folks, and our realtor have been very helpful in teaching us the intricacies of living in South Carolina. We live in Horry county (pronounced oo-ree, not whore-y) which was named after Lt.Col. Peter Horry of French Huguenot descent who fought in the American Revolution beside Francis Marion, the "Swamp Fox". Lots of history here.

Been to the beach but haven't surfed yet as there hasn't been much in the Atlantic to generate a swell. Still not sure about surfing in Bull shark territory but, must surf! We've got alligators in the lakes and rivers as well.

After living in San Diego for 53 years I shouldn't have much problem with the millions of tourists that will invade Myrtle Beach shortly but still have to learn back roads, shortcuts and out of the way places for dining, shopping and entertainment.
