June 15, 2010 Charleston

We arrived in Charleston and we're staying at Lake Aire Rv Park,a passport america park. We're about 12 miles from town and tomorrow we will tackle Charleston. We started downtown today and it's so hot I told Sam lets do a drive tour and I'll hop out and take pictures and we can park at a few of the places we want to see.This town has a lot of big beautiful churches with tall steeples.One of the churches we went to was The First Scots Presbytarian Church. Being of scotch decent,I wanted to see this church and graveyard. The first church on this site was built in 1734. St.Michaels Episcopal Church is one of the oldest in Charleston. George Washington and Robert E. Lee worshipped in this church in pew 43.

There are many beautiful homes of different styles here in Charleston.Here are a few.

We were getting hungry and went down to Market Square and looked around.Their were alot women and men making sweetgrass baskets. These are beautifully made and can be quite expensive.
We went over to O'Shucks for lunch and were very pleased. I had the She-Crab Soup and Watermelon Shrimp salad and Sam had the same salad.The soup is a Charleston specialty and was great.After lunch we headed back to the rv.It is so ungodly hot here we will be back sometime in the future when the weather is cooler. I really love this city but the heat just got to us.
