Happy July 4th!

Belvedere, Rutledge Ave., Charleston, SC  

I went on a patriotic flag search walk last time I was in town and the Belvedere Bed & Breakfast on Rutledge never lets me down. 

Happy Independence Day my fellow Americans! Thanks for welcoming this poor immigrant many years ago. You've given me a home, family, rewarding work and countless friendships.

PS: Making me go to Pittsburgh for a welcoming syphilis test was a little weird but happily I passed.
