Elegance and "un" Civil War

We spent two nights in Charleston South Carolina, enjoying the warmth, (only the mid 70's but it felt so nice to us!) and the Southern Hospitality.

We took a city tour through the historic district.

 an enjoyable way to get an overall picture of the city of old,

If you remember your Civil War history, the first shots fired were at Ft Sumter.

It's out there in the distance (for some reason I expected it to be closer to shore). Go figure!

According to our guide, Charleston never surrendered. Lovers of revisionist history!!!!

This statue honors the "Defenders of Charleston"

This is one of several of the actual cannons used by the Confederate Army.

This is just a fun picture to end this post. A T-Bird with Eyelashes!!!!
