Hilton Head Island, SC

Wow, I'm a full month behind!  Things have gotten a tad busier here as we head into the holiday season.  Our annual corporate meeting this year was held in Hilton Head, so I had the special chance to spend the weekend with family and with friends traveling from Asia with me.

A 3 foot gator at the outlet mall apparently being illegally fed as he came right up to us.

Bill showing everyone how to shuck an oyster.

The oysters were fighting back so Bill chucked them on the green egg to show them who was boss.  The oysters lost.

Dumping out the low country boil.  This is one of the few American dishes that fully translates to Asia pallates.  By that I mean it's not a pound beef between pieces of bread with a side of deep fried tater.

The full spread.

Lazy afternoon Sunday checking out the lighthouse and then going on a dolphin cruise.  You can see in the next few pictures that we ended up in the middle of a pod that was hunting.

I'm quite proud of this one.  I caught it while we were returning to shore, at full speed.  Got the boat about a third of the way in the frame and the horizon was pretty level.  Better than some of my shots standing still!
