Another beautiful, pre-Revolutionary War town, Georgetown was a secret to us until friends Bill & Marcy Choate said we should stop in to see them at their home here. The third oldest town in SC, Georgetown also boasts the oldest Methodist congregation in SC with the congregants being baptised by Rev Asbury. Prince George Episcopal Church, founded in 1721, moved into the building shown in these pictures in 1747 and is the oldest continuous congregation in South Carolina. The interior of the church is spectacular and features original box pews with initials carved into them dating back to 1700's!
Bill Choate served a steak feast at his beautiful home in DeBordieu. We were surprised to learn that Dick Riley, former work colleague of Terry's, also lives in DeBordieu. Last night Dick and Carolyn joined us on the boat for "docktails" followed by dinner at the River Room Restaurant in downtown Georgetown. So nice to catch up with old friends.
