I like the beach. Heck! Nangi-ngisda kaya ako nun! Haha! Halata ba? Ok. We don’t really call it a “beach”. But one thing I like in Charleston is that, the shore is just a short 30-minute drive. Unlike in Philadelphia na aabutin ka nang limang delubyo before you can get to the shore. Rehoboth Beach in Delaware is about 2 hours and the Jersey Shore, roughly the same time if you head to Cape May. I’ve driven many, many times to Atlantic City, but I have never tried the waters there. Itchy. Cape May is nice, but there’s just too many peebles. Sandy Hook is better. It’s a nude beach hehehe!
And the highway going to Folly Beach? Really nice. Except that, I see highway cops every five inches yata! Makes you wonder – what kind of drivers do they have in this place?!
See how quick? I’m here. Right at the center of the city – Folly Beach. This place is really nice. It’s just that I need a nicer camera hehehe! (Alibi to justify future planned purchase!) hahaha!
And that’s the only skyscraper in the city – the Holiday Inn. Sorry, biglang nag-red ang traffic light.
“A city with no parking meters!” that’s how they advertise the city. But I must have circled the island already, wala akong makitang bakanteee!!! Out of nowhere, eeeeekkk! Prenoo!
Saw this kid and shouted at him: “Hey! Can I buy your parking lot?”
He said: “Not for sale! You can rent it for $7, the whole day and I’ll watch your car all day long.”
I said: “Just my car?!”
He said: You got it!
I said: Good answer! Hahaha! at nag-thumbs up pa ang loko!
Perfect parking spot because this is what I came here for. You’ll see a picture of this pier in all of Charleston’s marketing materials and two (2) weeks ago, I drove to the wrong place. I went to Downtown Charleston. Hmpt!
Nice! Sarap nang feeling!
Wagi! This is the pier that I’ve been wanting to visit. Some people come here to fish. Pay the fee and they give you all the equipments you need.
They have a restaurant here.
Good enough to fight hunger! Now, this is my breakfast – lunch and… kung makaya pa, dinner na sya.
It’s a long walk and I need energy.
See? Here’s one guy fishing.
And here’s the other guy. Alala ko tuloy nung panahon.
Look to the left…
Look to the right…
Ok. Let’s do it again. To the left.
To the left uli.
To the left some more.
Left uli! Tabingi na kaya ako!
Ok. Enough. Malayo pa ang lalakarin nang lola nyo.
Sunbathing.
Ba’t ganun? Parang anlapit nya?
And here’s the other side.
Mackerel?! Nah. Dun na lang ako sa Vietnamese Store.
Buhay ko to sa barrio nun. *hikbi*
~How sweet it is to go fishing with you…~
“Eeek! Wag kang tatalon! Marami pang babae dyan. Lingon ka sa likod mo.”
The water is too inviting. Kaso, wala akong dalang costumes. If I swim naked, baka mamatay naman lahat nang isda.
Walked back. Mababaw lang naman ang kaligayahan ko.
Stroll on the beach.
Now ko lang napansin. Mala-abaniko pala ang mga paa ko.

loved this photo-essay! it felt like being there with you. I have also gone on trips by myself, even Boracay. Good to note that this is only a 30-minute drive from your new home. Pero sana makahanap ka na ng friends dyan!
