The architecture is fascinating yet I wouldn't like to sit on my porch and see the neighbors wall. Petticoat stairs seems like a lot of extra work when building but does lend a nice symmetry.Gaelynhttps://geogypsytraveler.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035932613092671755.post-69672254278439622002018-11-03T06:30:11.205-07:002018-11-03T06:30:11.205-07:00For the most part yes.

You won't be sorry with either of those eateries - so good.

You learned some things we didn't learn in our walking tour (petticoat stairs, for one!). Thanks for the terrific restaurant suggestions—we're heading back to Charleston next spring and Sol and Angel Oak are now on my list. <br />Ezra is definitely dang cute. :-))Laurel (www.ravenandchickadee.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09133248112440273123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035932613092671755.post-10748010398912190472018-11-02T19:51:04.318-07:002018-11-02T19:51:04.318-07:00Hope you have time to visit Fort Sumter, it has a ...Hope you have time to visit Fort Sumter, it has a most interesting history.

It is such a gorgeous city it deserves a walk around. Wish all our history was restored and not replicated but you had to save it in order to do that rather than tear it down. I think we have a huge case of lack of foresight. Could be said about our 2016 election as well. <br /><br />Being from the south, of course I knew the Confederates had sub marines and I knew they were iron but I had no idea they were pedal powered. Are you kidding me? Doesn’t sound like such a good plan to sink a ship and sink your own in the process.<br />Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.com
