Today we went to Charleston, We didn't make it there until almost 9:30, So we missed all the haunted jail tours that we wanted to go on. We did go to a really nice jazz club, with good music and cheap drinks.. Not to mention a really nice ...

... Cooper River passed by. Here they have the various tours, an aquarium, American Military Museum etc etc but was a delightful area with plenty going on. Every single person that i spoke to was so friendly, asking me about my trip, telling me places to go, local things to see, which was really nice, especially after Washington and the night bus. Much more of a community feel to the place but i guess that will get lost to a degree in Washington because of the amount of tourists that flock ...

... we also grabbed a quick little mid afternoon cocktail at the Peir 14 Bar then headed down the beach. Nic did some swimming with Dolphins swimming no less than 50 yards away from him pretty cool if you ask me. While he swam I walked to shores collecting some shells for my mom. After that we decided to soak up some of this amazing warm weather ...

... beautifully decorated, kind of cramped in the staircase, but fully equipped with all your basic amenities: air conditioning, internet, kitchen appliances, washer and dryer and full bath room. Let&#8217;s not forget 3 bedrooms and an additional living room! What luxury, what space! <br><br>Charleston was a decent visit, give or take the usual family disputes. Our nights out were spent downtown among the polo popped-collar boat shoe sun dress high-heel ...

Up and on the road early and we felt like we were slowly inching our way home when we hit the road on 95 North heading towards Charleston. Only a 5 hour drive today...nothing compared to the 10 hour trip yesterday from New Orleans.<br>So we arrived in Charleston refreshed for the start of our second week, refilled the cooler since we have been living the high life in hotels in Houston and New Orleans, and transformed back into camping ...

... where the back is covered with murals done by local (possibly renegade) artists. They were very cool! Then it was off to the City of Charleston Marina and onto the yacht Innisfail. Frank spent about $1 million restoring this vessel to its original 1939 condition. It is very beautiful and we certainly enjoyed the spin around the ...

... He fancied himself the best tour guide in Charleston.....great for us as he was a wealth of information. We drove through the Citadel campus (pretty impressive stats at this educational institution), heard about the Hunley Submarine(inexplicably lost at sea for over 100 years and then rediscovered with human remains in tack) as we traveled by the replica, viewed the market area which was originally manned by slaves ...

... who like to geek about Tall Ships, it was far more fun than meeting the officers off the naval tall ships and we spent the evening talking ship building and telling salty stories. May 20th - It was the last day of open houses and the first day of the new voyage. Sadly, though we had far too many people on at the time, the upcoming voyage looked to be even more short handed than on the transatlantic. I'd been doing plugs to join the ship with every speech I made to ...

... a house two or three stories high, one room wide and several rooms deep with the narrow end facing the street. On one side are one or two story verandas designed "to catch the sea breezes". A door opens onto the street which leads to the veranda (not directly into the house) and on this is the main entrance to the home. Charleston is also called the Holy City as from almost any street one can see a church steeple. There are no skyscrapers in Charleston and the highest ...
