Day 67 - Sept 24 - Myrtle Beach - Fond Memories

Today we left Savannah and traveled to Myrtle Beach South Carolina. We traveled along highway 17 which took us through the "low country", which consists mainly of pine forests and swamps.

Myrtle Beach has changed quite a bit since we meet 20 years ago. It has expanded south and west and is now a large city with many restaurants, theaters and of course gold courses to attract the tourists. Most of the small motels along the beach have been replaced with large condos or major hotels. We are staying at The Palms Resort.
















The beach is still magnificent. Unfortunately Myrtle Beach is having a NorEaster, which is a wind storm from the North East that creates large waves and gale force winds.

We went to Dueling Pianos tonight. This is a nightclub where two pianist play continual music, mixed with comedy. The music tends to be 60s and 70s oriented but they do play everything including Rap. The large crowd really gets into the act and it is very enjoyable. It appears that this night club has taken over from Studebaker's as the place to go in Myrtle Beach.
