Charleston, SC

We went back to Charleston again today with no plans, but to park on Battery Street (the only free parking) and then walk through town.  We walked around the White Point Gardens, up on the raised river walk area and down through the rainbow house street (very colorful).  We walked around until about 1:00-1:15 then it's time to have lunch and ate at the 'Fleet Landing'.  Good food and brought back a lot of old memories for Brad.







The food was good, we both enjoyed our lunch, I had a salad with grilled shrimp and Brad had Shrimp and Grits (I liked mine better). 

We planned on doing a couple of tours today, but we got distracted walking 'Market Street', and then all the other streets, reading the history plaques, touring cemetaries and walking into the old churches or buildings that were open.  The next thing we knew it was time to think about heading home.
 

We did go to the 'Roof Top' bar/restaurant for a drink and then headed to the car.  OK, one more stop.  We actually decided we were going to have Tapas (Appetizers) for dinner.  Dinner consisted of  "Gargonzola Fig Terrine with fresh fruit" and "Portobello Mushroom, Ham and Cheddar Cheese Quiche with a side salad", a little different for us, but we enjoyed them both.

We finally got home about 7:00, long day of walking but that will never hurt either of us.  Be back later.
