CHARLESTON SOUTH CAROLINA
5/23Claire called up her cousin Chris and we were on the road 2 ½ hours to Charleston, South Carolina. Quick ride. We were greeted by Chris and Carson, not to mention ice cold Bourbon and Gingers. Stroll around the area. Similar to Savannah, but not as historical, with a touch of Southern Metropolitan. Claire’s brother William, plans to attend the Art Institute here, studying the Culinary Arts. Carson and Chris are fellow food lovers who enjoy the local restaurant and hospitality at night. There are lots of superb restaurant groups, plus some up and coming refined southern affair.
5/24 Up and out to get some Crepes. Quick tour of the historic jail and old homes. To the marina and waterfront. Another big Port of Entry. Lots of history and roots of america in the south. Fried chicken for lunch. On the road again. South of the Border in Dillon, SC. Pick up some last minute souvenirs, plus a surplus of fireworks. Immediately crosing the North Carolina state line, genius. About a total of a 7 hour drive to the Outer Banks.
