Home. ❤
776.2 miles (roundtrip) and 7 days later.
I'm home.
Someone once said, "there's no place like home."
Dorothy, honey, you know it's the truth.

The long drive home from St. Helena Island to Meat Camp was approximately 341 miles, and with a few brief stops to refresh my weary bones, took me about seven hours.
It's been a long time since I did that sort of drive alone.
Usually Donald does the driving. He enjoys driving.
Me? Not so much.
Although, driving long stretches I do sort of slide into a Zen mode which is good for thinking and reflecting.
I had lots to reflect on driving back home to The High Country after my week in The Low Country. These two areas could not be more different. They both have their own essence of nature and character. Their differences are sharp, crisp, and in some demesne, quite stark.
After some time to ponder my week in order to form words coherent enough to put to paper, I'll share my thoughts.
In the meantime, I'll do what I do here so often and share some images.
I am like a lot of people when it comes to traveling; I pick up souvenirs. Things that hold particular meaning and remembrances of the place of origin.
Of the culture
Of the people trying their ever best to save pieces of their culture that are in danger of disappearing.
And while I bring home memories important to myself,
I hope I show respect for the cultural integrity of The Low Country in my photos and in my words.
My Life is Good
Let me never forget

Kaye, I like your reflections even before you have a chance to reflect.
Thank you for sharing a few bits of your time in the Low Country.
