Last night we had dinner at Luther’s, a sports bar that seemed to cater more to locals than visitors. We sat at the bar and watched part of the UCLA-Memphis basketball game. A local sat next to Darrell and struck up a conversation. Beth doesn’t know how it happened, but the two of them ended up talking about the movie “Chicago”, and the acting abilities of Madonna and Cher!!
Sunday morning Beth went to church while Darrell took care of boat issues. She found a very beautiful, old Episcopal church, The Parish Church of St. Helena. It was established in 1712 and had its cemetery surrounding the church and a brick wall which enclosed all of it. This was the first Episcopal church Beth had been to and she was surprised to find how similar the service was to a Lutheran service.
After a quick trip by both of us to Lowe’s with the marina’s courtesy car Beth explored some more of the town. Darrell’s knees were bothering him so he stayed behind. (He has an appointment scheduled for cortisone shots when we’re home).
Beth found 7 churches within a 2-3 block radius close to the downtown area. A Presbyterian, Episcopal, a large Baptist church, 3 small Baptist churches and a synagogue. She took a lot of pictures of the Episcopal church, with its grounds and surrounding wall. The cemetery, despite its age, is beautiful. It appears there are family plots and many above ground vaults.
Most of the old mansions seem to have been turned into Bed and Breakfasts or are now businesses such as attorney firms, real estate companies and insurance companies.
Beaufort has the most beautiful riverside park and walk. It appears to be recently completed and has many places to sit and watch the world go by.
Notice low tide and high tide. Tides are typically 8’.
