We spent a day with Bob and Marva Lee who live in the area. They drove over to buy our lunch and to give us a personal guided tour. Pretty nice.
The blue is Gullah to ward off evil spirits
St Helena Episcopal Church Cemetery dating back to the 1700s
Church was used by Union troops for a hospital during the Civil War
Beautiful Organ upstairs
Old records note the burial of a man named Perry who, in great fear of being buried alive, instructed his friends to place a jug of water, a loaf of bread, and a hatchet in his coffin. If he regained consciousness, he could then stave off hunger and thirst while chopping his way out.
With that in mind we had a late lunch and visited
Nice Sunset...water was chop chop chop
Wednesday we took a Carriage Ride of the Historic Homes. Our driver Deb and our horse Buck have been working together for seven years......

One final note.....The American Idol the winner, Candice, is from St. Helena Island and Beaufort had signs of every shape and size around town asking you to vote for her.
