We enjoyed our visit to Charleston, SC. The downtown historic district contains one of the nation’s largest collections of colonial architecture. There are also many Victorian homes. The first shots of the Civil War were fired at Union occupied Fort Sumter, which fell to Confederate forces. The city’s was known as a major slave trade center, a major rice shipping area, and as a winter playground for wealthy industrialists.
It's really neat walking through the historic area viewing all of the homes and houses of worship.
It is very similar to Savannah, GA., only a little smaller and not as easy to get around in if you are driving.
There are many cobblestone streets and brick streets that add to the cities charm.
We had a great dinner at Hyman’s Seafood and Aaron’s Deli. The fifth generation is now running the business. It was originally a wholesale business that was established in 1890. Judy had a great corned beef sandwich while Mike enjoyed one of their specials: a whole fried flounder.
It's a shame he didn't enjoy his dinner.
Our last day here we just loafed. Did some shopping and Mike had the oil in the truck changed and the tires rotated.
