And nothing like mixing it up between two cultures to stoke me engines for the fun in store!
That be Chicken Teriyaki from Asian shores, surrounded by a sea of Italian green beans - aye, and mighty filling it was!
The movie of the day was "Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan", a tale of a swashbuckler if ever there was one!
Then, off in search of the Self Family Arts Center!
Oops, that would be the Performing Arts Center, as it now be known, and that Jamaican lass down by the road is guarding the entrance.
No fears, my name be on the list of those allowed, granting my dear blue Saturn safe passage!
Now, to retrieve my ticket for the night's musical, then seek other entertainment betwixt this moment and show time.
And there it be, not ten minutes away by foot: Pirate's Island Adventure Golf!
Would ye look at that mighty ship, stripped down to its bones, with naught but bones to steer it!
Of the two routes at hand, Blackbeard's Original Adventure was the one for me, beckoning me toward its many green-jeweled tiers and the treasure that lay all about - aye, that's the one for me!
What, ho, why is that butterfly-bedecked bag atop the post?
Oh, aye, that be with me, in case my spectacles be needed later tonight.
On to the mini-golf adventures at this Pirate's Island in Shelter Cove!
Here, Blackbeard lore and history abounded at each hole, with tales to shock and amaze!
This be the sight after the fifth hole, of the man lost to the perils of going over the waterfall in a barrel - perhaps not of his own will, eh?
Aye!
And the sixth hole was on top of the waterfall!
Oohs! Aahs!
Not to be outdone, Lucky 13 had a few loopy hills for thrills.
Aye, that be my little pink ball on the green, and it went into the hole with just two strokes, too.
And what be here?
No, me wee lass, that was not mickey mouse incognito!
Perhaps it was a tattered heart of a battered pirate?
Or, then again, maybe it was simply hole 14, with a Par 2 rating... which was made with aplomb by yours truly!
That be a mighty fine first shot, was it not, that landed me 'tween the hard place, the rock, and the cup?
That made a fourth par, with a fifth on the next, and birdies on the 16th and 17th!
Aye, I was feeling mighty full of meself by this time.
No wiggle room on this last hole, though!
That cannon doubled my strokes - ack!
Even so, my score on the last half of the course was four strokes better than that of the first half.
Then 'twas time to bid farewell to the good Captain and thank him for the use of his land.
How kind of his henchmen to have scattered those bits of lore hither and yon, to brighten the knowledge and perhaps even scare children to behave - bwah ha ha!
Now, time to slip on those Kinky Boots and meander back over to where my car held my spot.
Show starts in thirty minutes and I have a protein bar to wolf down to tame my hunger!
No refreshments will be here and face coverings are to be worn at all times to keep the actors and crew safe from harm - bravo to that fine lot!
And would ye look at that lovely sight!
I had thought when I bought the ticket that there would be a row in front of me... but I am right there at the edge of the stage!
No blokes in front of me to block me view!
And doesn't it look like that backdrop just stepped out of the movie for this busy, vibrant woman?
It truly does, doesn't it!
How blessed I am to have this fabulously-scored musical drop into my lap for my last day of vacation on Hilton Head!
i thank You, God!
