Myrtle Beach, Day 2

We woke to the sound of owls hooting.  Not the screech owls we hear in Wiarton, but definite real owl hooting! Our campsite is nestled in the woods of the KOA campground. Large old fir trees, lots of shade, but not what you'd think. Our neighbours are mostly RV buses.  We occasionally see some people, but rarely.  Wondering why they don't just stay home if they just sit in their RV's and watch TV we think!
We spent the morning checking out Myrtle Beach.  Definitely tourist-oriented, lots of condos, motels, beachy stores, and every imaginable type of restaurant, including many oyster bars. Yet the buildings weren't jam-packed, and the streets were nicely landscaped. Nice atmosphere, not just a party haven.
We had lunch at our campsite, but went back to the beach, about 3 city blocks, for a swim in the ocean.  We were told it the water was cool, but felt great to us, considering our Wiarton conditioning! We tend to meet people because of Max, people who either own dogs or would like to seem to notice our little guy!! Lots of neat folks and stories.
We came back to the park and decided to go for another mid-afternoon swim in the pool here.  Turns out that it was cooler than the ocean, but Joanne sucked it up and finally stopped shivering just after supper! Supper was a home-made feast of mahi-mahi ... Fabulous!!
Then a campfire and now calling it a day. Outside temp was 24C today ... Woo-hoo!
