Tabby Architecture

Remains of Tabby Architecture can be seen below on Daufuskie Island.  In the distance, you can see the Intercoastal Waterway.  Daufuskie Island is accessible only by boat.  It has a couple of private communities, some individual residences, as well as some undeveloped land.  A picture of the sign at bottom explains more about Tabby Architecture.

Restaurant Week!

Restaurant Week is in full swing on Hilton Head Island!

"Modeled after similar popular events held in NYC and Los Angeles, Restaurant Week features local participating restaurants which will be offering specially price-fixed “prix fixe” menus."

You can have some fabulous meals, at some great prices! This year, the Hilton Head/Bluffton Chamber of Commerce is hosting a contest for the participating restaurants.  Diners can go to the following web-site and vote ("like" via your facebook account) for their favorite restaurants. You can vote for as many as you like.  For the money and food, my vote is for "Hudson's on the Docks."

Sunset at Harbour Town

It's nice during the off-season on Hilton Head Island. The evening I took this picture, hardly anyone else was out on the docks at Harbour Town in Sea Pines. It was very quiet, very peaceful, and the water slowly waving goodnight.
