During my first year of fulltiming in 2001, I spent several months in Charleston working for more gas money. I was entranced by this beautiful southern belle city and spent my first Thanksgiving and Christmas on the road here. I kept a journal of my memories, but somehow I wound up losing almost all of the pictures I had taken. So I'm glad I got the chance to stop here again on my way to Savannah and relive some of those happy times. |

Gawking
at these homes along the Battery was one of those times I just pinched
myself to make sure I really was the lucky woman who was getting
to see these things.

You
can just picture the southern belles drinking sweet tea on these
long wrap-around porches.

This
was my favorite - Two Meeting Street Inn. Now a prestigious B&B,
it was a wedding gift from a generous father to his beloved daughter.
It's hard to believe a check for $75,000 would build this jewel
even back in 1890!

Cute
little courtyards abound and made me wonder about what was behind
the artistic wrought iron gates.

St.
Philip's Church Graveyard - The contrast between the colorful new
life that spring brings amidst drab gravestones representing death
was thought provoking to say the least.

|
Rainbow
Row - In the mid 1700's this was the center of commerce in Charleston.
Merchants had stores on the first floor and lived on the floors
above. Neglected over time, they are now lovingly restored and a
mainstay of historic Charleston images.
