We arrived in Folly Beach at our host Lyndon's house late Friday July 31st, he lives literally across the street from the beach, you can hear the waves with the windows open and have a beautiful view from the porch. He showed us around Folly beach and took us to see some live local music and they have New Belgium here!! So I got to have a Fat Tire and introduced it to Lyndon, guess they just started distributing to SC, there were signs everywhere. Now when will they get it in Florida? Later when we got home we were introduced to his house mate Joey a surfer from MD. Saturday we slept in then walked around their backdoor neighbor Vivians vegetable, herb and flower garden. She showed us a book, Humors of Folly, where there was a picture of her bottle tree. Lyndon had to go to work and as he was leaving their other house mate Elsa arrived with a bunch of randos with a keg. So as they started their afternoon binge, Joey, Ofri and I went swimming in the Atlantic then took the longboards and bike to the dock, which is off an empty lot filled with a bunch of beautiful live oak that goes out over the marsh. Later, Ofri and I went to the most magical place, Angel Oak, an estimated 1500 year old live oak. It is suppose to be the oldest living thing this side of the Rockies, it was amazing. When we got back, Lyndon was home from work so we went back to the dock for sunset and a swim. That night we went to see Vivians son, Graham play/sing at a local bar, where we ran into some Israelis that Ofri got to speak Hebrew with. The next day Joey took us to the old lighthouse at the end of the beach past the washout. I do not think it is currently in commission but the beach was beautiful and peaceful with sand dunes and trees. There was a group of dead trees that we started climbing on and swinging around and some weird cement foundation, maybe for an old light house?
