Not much to say here :) Charleston's a place you need to live, not so much visit :) Shopping on King street, drinking wine at East Bay street, walking from Meeting street to Ocean drive, marvelling at the old houses (I like to say: colonial style... :)) with porch'es', fountains in the garden's', three floors (two for the US people :) ) ... wow!
Charleston, especially North Charleston is a place you could see yourselves live, raise your children... It's a modern yet 'isle of palms'-style living, 'quart d'heure academique' guaranteed ! :)
Then there is the beach-experience :) LOVE IT :) My mum would have loved it to! No cold water, but nice waves... you can just walk into the ocean without jumping and screaming and tugging in your belly because the touch of water is 'aye aye aye' :)
I got new shoes ! (After the Clarks one's that I got blisters from... which I gave to Connie, so she could find somebody else who'd like to wear them :) )
Which shoes? Puma, no, very inexpensive puma shoes :) The shopkeeper said: ' hey there! Let me just say that if you're willing to donate one dollar today, we'll give you 30% off everything in the shop!'
WOW! I donate one dollar and my shoes are suddenly 25 dollars cheaper :) Like the sound of that :-)
Now get this: I am shopped out! :) No kidding, I am cured... finally I can walk past shops without feeling the need to buy things... :) Hope it won't last to long, haha!
Ah and one more thing ! Here in Charleston, where people have a weird accent, they don't have speed bumps but...
SPEED HUMPS :-) I do not know exactly what they want to say by that... :)))
Off to Etowah now, last update on the blog coming up... and then tuesday is flying-back-home-day!
But don't be fooled! As I wrote at the end of our Alaska adventure:
WE'LL BE BACK !! :-)
