Incredible But True

Every year I tell my friends that the hottest summer day in Hilton Head is often considerably cooler than the same day in Philly.
Yes, it can get very hot here in South Carolina's steamy Low Country.
But . . . today it's breezy and 84 degrees in Hilton Head.
And in Philly? Try hot and humid - sweltering, near 100 and no breeze!
Incredibly, it's been like this most of this week.
At the Jersey shore the water is frigid and the surf is downright dangerous; so much so that the riptide has actually claimed a few lives.
Here, the ocean water is like bath water and the surf is calm.
Hey, the Jersey shore is conveeeenient. I understand.
And I don't expect the downashore folks to ever venture this far south.
But for anyone who plans to stay anywhere for any length of time, this little piece of paradise is definately worth the trip!
