This morning Julie and I woke up with an agenda: see Charleston, seek employment. After an unintentional detour across the bridge and to the beach (we have decided to keep swimsuits in the car if such an accident should occur again), we made our way downtown to the farmer's market. Booth after booth of fresh produce covered the historic Marion Square with plenty of prime seating for people watching! For the record, the Starbucks across the street is air-conditioned and a perfect people watching alternative for the heat intolerant like us. Hello, humidity!
After practicing a little self-restraint and promising to return when our fridge wasn't stuffed, we moved on to Fresh Berry. This sweet little frozen yogurt shop is probably Julie's heaven on earth. She claims a "minor" obsession with the tasty treat, but I think she underestimates her love. Regardless, I was introduced to mango and vanilla swirl with graham cracker crumbles, fresh kiwi, and pineapple chunks. Who knew low fat, low cal, frozen, and chocked full of probiotics could be so delicious! Lucky for Julie, she should soon be receiving an employee discount and I am left to wonder, "What's in it for the roommate?"
After a little window shopping we headed back to the car where we learned our lesson for the day: police here are quite particular about the way you park! We were greeted with cheerful little yellow envelopes oh the windshield that sweetly stated, "For your convenience place fine in this envelope and deposit it in any of the yellow courtesy boxes on or near meter posts." Courtesy boxes, huh? I thought this was the south! Turns out there is a particular direction you must parallel park. No room for creativity. Better luck next time!

Obsession.
