We started our Polk County day in House of Flags - and how many flags did they have! Our tour included dozens of them and we learned a lot about the history of United States. Of  course our professional shoppers Ilmo and Sari also bought some flags - and I had my Bonnie Blue flag that I've always wanted!

Next we visited Green Creek Winery, a place that makes RED Chardonnay wine. Very interesting. There was also wine ice cream that you can't eat if you're under 21 years old!

Saluda is a small town with many historic buildings and nice little shops. We - again - bought quite many souvenirs. After shopping we were already hungry and so we had a Southern style barbeque: delicious sandwiches and fried pickles (surprisingly good!), hush puppies (fried corn bread), sweet potato fries, fried okra... I bet no one was hungry after that lunch!

Eating feast continued in the evening at Laurel Hurst, local elderly care center. Food was so good and also included lots of fruits and vegetables. After dinner we gave a presentation, also sang something and even Yo-Yo-Mo was seen during the entertaining evening.
