Some charleston highlights
We have eaten some very good food...rumor has it that the best chef in Charleston is at this hotel.
Monday's adventures had us venturing off to the Salve Market. However, I also found out no slaves were ever sold there and it is now home for vendors of the flea market variety. There are some beautiful handcrafted sweetgrass baskets here but I can't decide on any as yet.
Before lunch we took a walk down to the Battery where the Ashly and Cooper Rivers meet up ..Fort Sumter was out there in the distance. All along the walk were gorgeous homes...this historical district is very well maintained AND architecturally restricted even to color of paint.
We eat some more.
(Yes, Dru Ann!)After lunch we took a mule carriage ride..Sully and her sister mule friend..can't remember her nameum..Alice. Anyway, our guide was great and we even got a ghost story...well more couples Arsenic and Old Lace types but facinating none the less. Maybe we'll do the ghost tour Wed night.
More food
Monday evening took us for another walk down to the battery before settling in for dinner at one of the highly hyped seafood restaurants. I think this may be one of those occasions where if they have to hype the place then it's the hype that is a bigger deal than the food. It was tastey but nearly all fried..fine. the bloody mary's were good as well as the company so we had a fine evening.
This morning was off to breakfast..more food...a quick little walk down Meeting Street for a house tour, afterall we had to be back for an early lunch! Aggghhh. I spent the earlier part of of the afternoon at the pool and now I'm waiting to get on a bus to go out for a harbor boat tour then dinner and private use of the facilities at the Aquarium. Naturally, that is my idea of a good time.
Have a fine evening all...I'll try to upload some pictures sometime along. Ya know...in between meals or something.
