So at nearby Furman University there’s a man-made lake with a variety of waterfowl in it – including a pair of black swans, which happen to sound a lot like kittens. Apparently these are Australian imports, deliberately introduced to the lake, and are well known to sightseers and university residents alike.

We saw the swans while walking around the lake, trying to work off some of the wonderful vegan food we had at nearby Sunbelly Cafe, a vegan, gluten-free restaurant that nevertheless has really great food.

My wife had our usual favorite, their vegan burger with all the addable fixin’s, but I tried their all-day breakfast and found their waffles were quite the standout.

So was the vegan dessert.
It was a pretty good day.
