Saturday May 28th
Slow to get moving this morning. We eventually got away about 11 at chucking out time and set off on the road north to Charlotte, North Carolina. We stopped at Greenville and explored quite a lot of the town while looking for the downtown part. A problem was that we had keyed in “Main St” to the GPS and as it turned out there were several main streets. The one we arrived at first was in the country to our surprise.
Park in Greenville Main st.
When we did find the correct Main Street, it turned out to be pedestrianized with a lovely park and waterfall at one end of it. There were also lots of trees giving shade from the hot sun. (still around 28oC but less humid than the gulf coast). Being Saturday, there were hordes of people about. We discovered also that it’s a holiday weekend with Memorial day on Monday which is the equivalent of Remembrance day in the UK, so there is a bit of pressure on the motel rooms.

Our evening was marred a little by David losing his credit card in a shop. He was making lots of phone calls about lawn-mower parts and he thinks (but isn't sure) he left it on a counter while he went to get something. Anyway it has disappeared. There were other people in the shop so someone could have picked it up. After spending about an hour retracing steps. we cancelled it from the shop with the help of the phone and my iPad to get on the internet and get the visa card number. Luckily we have other credit cards!
Off to the Appalachians tomorrow where the hill-billies live.
