Charleston

Further north in South Carolina is the charming historic town of Charleston. We did a carriage ride of the bay area and historic town. We thought it sounded more fun than it was. Still it wasn't that bad and I enjoyed it for the most part. After the carriage ride, we walked around the area and down to the waterfront, then on to lunch/supper (it was 3:45). That was about the witching hour. The restaurants stopped serving lunch at that time.
