OUTTA HERE

Again, I take another trip for SCIENCE.

Eien-chan and I are taking the faithful car and heading back to Charleston, so I can visit the Charleston Museum's herbarium again. It's gonna be a short jaunt, only until Tuesday afternoon, but nevertheless, if I seem scarce, that's why. XD I'm off communing with dead plants!

In Charleston!

Indeed I am!

We have safely arrived, and are holed up in the hotel after a delicious dinner and gelato. The trip down was mostly uneventful, although we went through some pretty nasty fog for a while. I started worrying that we might end up in Silent Hill, or maybe the Evil Dead house, instead of Charleston.

Another item of note is that you can get some veeeeery interesting things in vending machines down here. For example, you can get bags of fried fat back, and also tins of herring in mustard sauce. I'm not kidding. Eien-chan got a tin. We have PROOF.

Tomorrow, I spend my day in the storage room of the Charleston museum, looking at very old specimens. I really hope it will go well, but we shall see. I'm hoping I can finish in a decent amount of time, such that I might have a chance to wander around a bit. Curses that the main yarn shop here isn't open on Sundays and Mondays! Ah well, at least there's a used bookstore right around the corner from the hotel. <3
