Charleston, South Carolina

We arrived in Charleston, South Carolina and headed for the historic section. There were horse drawn carriages, cobblestone streets, pre-revolutionary historic homes, gardens and churches. It was like stepping back into 1670!
The Citadel, Fort Sumter (where the Civil War Began) and the USS Yorktown Aircraft Carrier are in this area.

We found many lovely homes!
This one was close to Water Front Park
The art of coiled baskets dates to the 17th century. They are called sweetgrass baskets.

There really is a Bubba Gump Resturant!
No we did not see Forest:)

The homes are close together and it was very common to see small courtyards with fountains.

This is called Angel Oak. It is not very tall but very wide. It is considered to be approximately 1,500 years old! This predates Columbus by a 1,000 years!
