Welcome to
Charleston
 Charleston
is the only MUST STOP city on our travels. The church steeple on
the left is our landmark. Just a few steps down the hill from the
church is Tommy Condon's Irish Pub where we always stop for a Guinness,
Murphy's, Boddington's, etc. It just sets the tone for our exploration
of the city. And what a wonderful city it is. It is without
a doubt, our favorite. It's steeped in history and is as
beautiful as any city can be. We have spent hours and hours on each
stop just walking the streets and alleyways. It's a fascinating
town. Everywhere you turn are alleys and courtyards barely visible
from the street just begging you to explore. Big wide porches upstairs
and downstairs with indoor-outdoor furniture, the sweet smell of jasmin and
honeysuckle in the air.....What a civilized way to live. I just can't
say enough about Charleston.
Charleston's mass transit system is a fleet of delightful trolleys that
take you just about anywhere you might want to go. Harris Teeter's,
is on the route. We always get provisions at Teeter's. My favorite
grocery store. After we had loaded up the shopping cart with provisions,
Dianne went in search of a pay phone so she could call a cab. Just
as Teresa and I got through the checkout, Dianne announces that our ride
is waiting. (I'm thinking, wow, that was fast. The cab must have been
right outside the store.) So we walk outside and ......well,
