Our first visit to Charleston was a plus all the way. We had a good three day deal on a motel and the weather in the late fall was ideal according to several locals we talked to--not hot and not muggy. Armed with a finely detailed walking tour of the historic districts, we let our feet hit the street for almost five hours. The time period included a delicious and leisurely lunch midway at a sandwich shop that we happened onto. I can't do much other than offer you a little taste here and suggest that you check out the Charleston set on my Flickr Account for lots more shots of this remarkable city.

We hadn't been on a small sailboat in some forty-five years so our cruise down the river and under the bridge was an exciting treat courtesy of our good friend Captain Tom Kent.
