In the Middle of...International Relations


One of the best things about having a beach house is having the ability to invite friends to share it with you. This week we have been joined by our friends from north of the border, Les and Josee.

Those of you who have met Les know that he provides the entertainment.

In an effort to expose our Canadian friends to the best that South Carolina has to offer we headed to North Myrtle Beach and La Belle Amie Vineyards. OK, the only thing better than Les' natural ability to entertain is Les blended with alcohol. We partook in the wine tasting with a very witty and friendly Chris as our hostess and left with a lot of wine and a lot less cash in pocket! Good times! We took the "self-guided walking tour" of the property, which was about the same as walking around the backyard in Jersey, we are not in Beaune any more ToTo!

At this point we were ready for some lunch, yes that's right wine before lunch! Get over it!

Being the ever courteous host Steve asked our slightly giddy guests where they would like to dine, and Les' response gave us the opening we had hoped for, "Anything with a local flavor will be fine."

So we headed for "Dick's Last Resort", a restaurant where they are known for shouting abuses at their customers and the customers are fully expected to give it right back to them. This was the perfect place for North meets South, Canadian style. We ordered a couple of burgers, barbecues and "Big Ass Beers". Oh yeah, they are also known for these special paper "Trojan" hats they provide each guest, complete with customized phrases. Josee laughed until she...well we won't get into that.




As we drove off, Les' prophylactic hat protruding from the sunroof, even the other idiots in paper pointy hats were laughing hysterically!

Like I said, the best part about having a beach house is sharing it with your friends!
