Orangeburg, South Carolina

    Our trip had a major backfire when we ran out of gas and our bus came to a stop at Orangeburg, South Carolina. But we still had internet connection, so we searched for a school and there was one right in town. When we walked in, they looked like they were prepared, so we asked are first question. Boy! They really made our mouths water when they described their BBQ outings, and for the sea food lovers, they talked about their succulent crab. Then, they changed the subject and started talking about Civil War sites. Did you know that they were the first to succeed in the Civil War? Their state even has Civil War reenactments!
    Encouraged to find out what else they have in the Palmetto State? They talked about Fort Sumter and that Columbia is their capital. They said that the first woman governor was Nikki Haley. They even talked about a river called Edisto River. Speaking of rivers, they have a zoo called Riverbank Zoo, a theme park named Carowinds, water parks, and baseball as their amusement places.
    Then, they talked about what they do at recess, like basketball, football, monkey bars, and play on the swings. Then, we asked them if there is anything else they would like us to know about their state, and they replied by saying that parts South Carolina used to be underwater and that it is cold at night and hot in the day.  They also told us about their beaches, like all of their beaches are touching the Atlantic Ocean. That was a fantastic time with South Carolina!
