"My favorite place to play is on Johns Island. Johns Island is full of trees. There are palmetto branches to play with when they fall. There are live oak trees that are so tall you can’t climb them and see their top. They make a wonderful roof. My cousins live there and play with me. We build houses out of palmetto branches. It is exciting because the wind blows hard and flaps the palmetto fronds. We play that we are Indians, and have palmetto swords. I can’t wait to play Indians again when I go back."

I know two little boys who would LOVE to play Indians with you! Please let us know when you plan to return to SC.
Beth, we absolutely will. You know twins and JI are a natural match!
What is more wonderful than giant old trees?
I have now added another destination to my bucket list - sounds so so good. For big and little kids alike!
GG - I love the trees, they really are ancient and massive, and they make a cathedral roof across the lawn.
Mary - it is wonderful for big and little alike. Whenever I arrive I feel like running around crazily with the kids and reverting to my childhood!
I discovered your blog through Joan's blog. We recently moved to South Carolina and are loving it! I am also enjoying your blog....so interesting to read about adventures outside of the US. Thanks!
Lisa, thanks for popping by. Joan's blog is wonderful, and one of my inspirations - she knows how to take everyday photographs and make them interesting, and she does this truly every day.
