After listening to rain on the roof all night long, we wondered how the day would be, but we got up and headed for Charleston in the foggy morning. After all, the Weatherman had promised sunshine and warm temps, right?
Well, he was correct! By the time we got into town, sun was out and temperature rising, as high as 59 degrees by afternoon. Perfect for touring historic Charleston.
Our tour bus driver was smiley and knowledgeable. Since we were the only ones on the bus, he had time to chat with us beyond the "script" of information he'd normally share.
He recommended a fine place for lunch and his favorite local special dishes. And I shall forever identify Charleston by the most delicious She-Crab Soup and Shrimp on Grits!
I'd been looking forward to the Market and buying Sweetgrass baskets, but was disappointed not only in the selection of wares but in the extraordinary prices! One small basket I thought was lovely, until I turned it over to check out the price....$449!!!!
But we loved the rest of it, the walking, the parks, the fountains, the carriages, the friendly folks and the warm sunshine!
