Charleston is in our rear view mirror. We saw the Hunley and really enjoyed it. The next day we went into downtown Charleston. Narrow streets and difficult parking for the big truck were expected and did not disappoint. We saw the old houses and tree lined streets that the area is known for. Then we walked to the famous City Market. We have been here before and were very disappointed. Like too many places of historical value it has been taken over by commercial enterprizes. The same trinkets that are found around the country at every tourist destination that are made in China appear with some locally significant icon affixed. The same hand made sweet grass baskets that are all "unique" to the individual artist appear over and over again throughout the market. Then the same foodstuffs like jams and other local products again can be found at a number of booths with labels showing the product originated far from the South Carolina area. Our big purchase was a postcard of the City of Charleston. We then made our way back to the RV and agreed that we don't need to go back to Charleston again.
Our next destination is Savannah Georgia. Only a little over 100 miles down the road we got the wheels rolling after a late breakfast and arrived at the campground a little after lunch. The RV is all set up and we will relax here before the final legs of our south bound trek. We need to catch up on our laundry, prep a few meals and take care of some of the day to day things involved with living in an RV. We will go into Savannah knowing that the same commercial invasion will probably greet us but hope to see a few of the historical sites that have been preserved.
Our next orders of business is showering, getting dressed, and laundry. Probably a meal out and who knows what else? So goodbye until the next blog from our home near Savaannnah Georgia because......
Home is where we park it,
Frank and Mary
