Photos from my September 2005 trip to South Carolina, John Hunter. These photos are of Cypress Gardens, South Carolina.

The last 3 photos here are from Mepkin Abbey, South Carolina (not really near Cypress Gardens I just decided to include them here). Also see, photos from the Abbey of Gethsemani, Kentucky - another trappist monastery where Thomas Merton served.

Previously on this trip I stoped in Huntington Beach State Park and then I visited historic downtown Charleston, South Carolina.
