Piccolo Spoleto volunteering...
Today began our volunteer activities for the Piccolo Spoleto Festival...
The combination of historic Charleston's old European charm and the world-class Spoleto Festival USA together produce a unique and impacting synergy for all who come to the city by the sea to experience this magnificent international multi arts festival. But what really adds the ingredient of magic to the mix is Piccolo Spoleto, which provides access to the festival for Every Person, especially children. Focusing primarily on artists of the Southeast region, Piccolo Spoleto is the perfect complement to the international scope of its parent festival and its 700 events in 17 days, transforms Charleston into an exhilarating celebration of performing, literary and visual arts. Piccolo Spoleto's traditional program offerings include visual arts exhibits, classical music, jazz, dance, theatre, poetry readings, children's activities, choral music, ethnic cultural presentations, crafts, and film.
Our first four work 'shifts' are as meeters & greeters for visitors to the box office/ Visitors' Center. In addition to helping with tickets sales, Steve was helpful with direction giving and restaurant recommending. So fun to be able to be a part of Charleston!
Lunch was sharing a table, while dining on crepes, with some Charlestonians at the Farmers' Market. We briefly scanned the fresh locally grown produce and food products as well as distinctive hand wrought arts & crafts while promising to return with more time to explore. Farmers' Markets reveal a great deal about a place.

Hi.... that all sounds like such FUN !! That's just the kind of working and socializing that you're both so very good doing. You will have met so many people from all over by the time you leave. Maybe you'll have to cancel your next big trip and just stay there instead. Ha.
Glad you're having s great time. Love You.
