So this morning, I was out of the hotel at 7:18 and on my way to the the water. I parked in the hotel parking lot and nobody said a word. I walked through the courtyard and on to the concrete sea wall and stopped a the No Trespassing sign. The early morning light was soft and the water still which made for nice picture taking.
I especially liked the reflections on the water.
As a side note, I took a boat picture on the other side of the city on Sunday. It sounded as if they were shooting off cannons -- huge booms and lots of smoke.
This morning, I also realized that I made a good choice in my hotel because it would be harder to walk around outside that hotel as it is in a busy high way area. And noisy to boot.
Today's training was very interesting. We had a guy from HR/ ER give us a presentation. It took me about 5 minutes before I could place his face. Turns out we were in the same ConGen class in DC in 2011. This was not a venue where I was expecting to see anybody from that class. The morning flew by -- the information was excellent and the question and answer period was very helpful.
Tonight's activity was trying to find a souvenir, or two. I walked through the City Market building and managed to accomplish that goal. I might have to stop in the airport gift shop as well, since I didn't find the usual key chains and lapel pins that I often bring home. I did have fun window browsing in the high end shops on King street on my way back to the hotel. This area isn't a particularly cheap place to shop. I'm glad that nothing uber expensive has jumped out at me, other than a charm bracelet made up of charms of the "Doors of Charleston" in the historical preservation shop that was $360 if I read the tag correctly. I passed and settled for the little tray shaped in a tea pot that you put your used tea bag on -- that was decorated with the houses of Rainbow Row that was $3. And I found some postcards of building that I have seen, that I may or may not have time to send out.
