We started our day with a carriage ride in downtown Charleston. We had the luck of the draw and our tour included the lovely Battery area with the largest, most gorgeous homes! Always a treat but with the information our driver had it was even better. But please don't quiz me! I always forget most of it!
This is our driver and our horse, Millhouse. We had a private carriage and a perfect day. It was hot but we went early and it was very "do-able".
The streets of Charleston never fail to impress me. Someone referred to Charleston recently as "the Paris of the United States"! I agree - only better!
If you walk up to these ladies making the sweetgrass baskets they won't let you take a picture - but if you are passing by in a carriage they don't even know. These baskets are so fantastic - and very expensive. The large on pictured here on the table is probably $300!
This is the old Exchange Building and the old dungeon is in the basement. They give tours and that is on our bucket list - just haven't gotten to it yet.
And on to a pub for lunch of course. This is the Blind Tiger - the oldest pub in Charleston.
One of my favorite places to spend time is Magnolia Cemetery which is Charleston's oldest cemetery. The trees are amazing as are the stories that the old monuments tell!
