We also enjoyed Charleston, though not as much as Savannah. I think by that time we were all tired. LOL! We took a carriage ride, which was lovely. The driver talked about the Charleston “single house.” Like the shotgun houses in NOLA, it’s one room wide, so that you can open the doorsandwindow and allow the breeze to blow through. But single houses have a long porch running along the side of the home, with a door on the front, so that the home kind of has two front doors. The iron work was beautiful, both cast iron and wrought iron.
Because I love tea of all kinds, we also toured a tea plantation, the only one in North America. It’s owned by the Bigelow family. I brought home some Charleston breakfast tea. Yummy!
Finally, we reunited with Dave’s cousin Sue, whom we hadn’t seen in 40 years. We had dinner at a lovely low country restaurant.
