I had a great afternoon listening to Bill share so many great historical facts about beau fort and about Pat Conroy. I loved seeing the houses that Pat lived in or were in his movies/books. I was all by myself and so I could just enjoy listening and asking questions. I just cannot get over how beautiful it is there, This was by Golf cart and this time of year, I can't imagine being in a van, I loved the Golf cart aspect. Thank you Bill!
