Our Second Day in Greenville, SC

Today we went to downtown Greenville for the second day to see some things we missed yesterday.  Much of our afternoon was spent at Falls Park on the Reedy.  This is a park with a water fall with a bridge crossing the river so you get a perfect view of the waterfall.  From the falls we walked a couple of blocks and went into some of the shops on Main St.  Greenville has such a lively and vibrant downtown with people walking and riding bicycles everywhere.  You also saw people just sitting on park benches reading books and just enjoying the day.  The temperature was in the 50's but with the sun out it felt warmer. 

After hanging around downtown and doing a little shopping we came home where we waited for Gabe to come over so we could head out for dinner.  Tonight we went to the Saluda River Grill.  Gabe and I had Prime Rib and Huli had the blackened Chicken Alfredo.  It was very good and the portions were large so we were all full with no room for desert.

Below are a few pictures of the day.


Great spaces around where we have the rv parked.  There are three miles of trails.  There is a shelter with a chiminea and two rocking chairs and wood to burn.  Unlike most rv parks here at Ivy Acres they supply not only the fire pit but the wood to burn in it.  Chuck told us when we moved in that the wood was there for ya all to burn


 This is the owner Chuck's house which he built himself a few years ago.  The door and surrounding side and overhead lights around the door are from six old houses that were torn down around Greenville.
 Many places to eat out on the side walk in downtown Greenville.
 Art work in several street corners.
 Very interesting shops this one is all about items from Paris, France.
 Interesting roots on this tree

I am not sure why the water in the fountains is purple unless it has something to do with Clemson University that has a building on the other side of the bridge.



 This is the Liberty Bridge
