Arthur Ravenel, Jr Bridge

Charleston, United States

Crossed the Arthur Ravenel, Jr Bridge (Cooper River Bridge) which according to Wikipedia/Wikitravel is the longest among cable-stayed bridges in the Western Hemisphere.
It's interesting that some countries make their bridges appealing to look at, whilst we come up with the Bolte Bridge - two vertical concrete columns and nothing else.

"South Of The Border"

Dillon, United States

For > 50 Miles before the border with North Carolina, roadside billboards alerted us to the delights of "South of the Border", a theme park of sorts. Each billboard had a message, many of which were unintelligible. Words cannot adequately describe exactly what we saw at SOTB - I will let the images in the next blog entry tell the story.

The Third Place (put this into Wikipedia for an explanation)

Raleigh, United States

Check out the purple hookah on the table out the front of The Third Place.
Perhaps it is legal to smoke dope in Raleigh.
