The zoo was meh but the animals were going nuts as we approached totality, so that was cool.
Also there was a guy on the phone at the concession stand with somebody, and he was (very loudly, like straight out of trigger-happy tv) trying to tell them he was in the food line and asking if they wanted anything, but through his accent and the connection, the other party thought he was saying “Food Lion”, a regional grocery chain in the area. Hilarity ensued. So that’ll stick with me for a while.
Also at the Food Lion I got Cheerwine which I never had before. That’s pretty good too.
Oh and I was visibly very hot and some stranger offered me a “coo rag”. I’d never heard of them at the time, but was very put off by the offer. I later realized he was saying “cool rag” (which I also never heard of before, but now swear by). That’ll also stick with me for a while. But points for hospitality? That mightve been in Charlotte tho.
South Carolina has some nice beaches.
(I’m trying to be a little more positive, and this was the only nice thing I could think of to say about SC.)
I saw the 2017 eclipse from Greenville Zoo.
