Charleston

Good Morning Charleston! It's sunshine and 55 degrees as we get ready to explore the city.

Historic Downtown Charleston is full of things to do and see, strolling through the antebellum streets, view stunning architecture, and enjoy southern cuisine.

We started out taking the marina's free shuttle to the Charleston Farmer's Market, ranked fifth best in the country by Travel + Leisure magazine.

Located at Marion Square, we stroll through a large open park, where every Saturday they have tents set up along the edge.

There is an abundance of fresh local produce, plants, herbs and flowers. We also check out the arts and crafts from the best selection of local artists.

Locals and tourists can enjoy the farmer's market and get breakfast, lunch and dinner while listening to live entertainment. Today it was Bluegrass.

Simple pleasures were enjoyed by all.

Located on Market street, we walk to the Old City Market, which was built in 1841 to sell produce and meats. It features shops, restaurants, and a flea market where ladies weave and sell their handmade sweet grass baskets.

We finish our walking tour in the King Street Fashion District. This is a large area of high-end designer stores including Louis Vuitton and Gucci. Bob hustles me through quickly.

We say goodbye to Charleston and tomorrow we continue north towards Georgetown.

During the holidays, we would like to wish all of our friends and family, a happy Passover and a happy Easter. We especially love and miss all of you at this special time of the year.
