Charleston Sth Carolina

Rode from Anderson in Sth Carolina to Charleston via Columbia. Did some quiet roads and some hwy as usual.

Charleston is on the coast and has an unusual harbor with two rivers or more feeding into it and peninsulas around it. Makes for interesting and spectacular bridges. It is low lying and can get flooded in places with high tides and winds. Lots of history, as it is where the first shots in the civil war occurred. Geralds friends the Burgens were there visiting their son Nick and his wife Dana and their new g/son Charlie. Nick took some time off from work to show us around,. had a great meal on the wharf and found at the history of the old part of town. very interesting and great hosts, thanks.. We later took a tour of the old carrier The Yorktown. It had lots of Navy planes on board to look as well as the workings of such a large ship.
