Doing the Charleston... (SC)

After our buggy ride Marcia and I walked around the old area admiring the architecture.

Lunch was at 82 Queen, an old house converted to a restaurant. Marcia had her long-sought she-crab soup, and loved it.  We both loved the herb-cheese biscuits. I had a low country chicken dish served on a kind of mac-n-cheese, and more mac-n-cheese in a side dish. Mine also was very good, better than it sounds.

Charleston is prone to earthquakes but since nothing is torn down you end up with some buildings with a wavy wall, as in the pink building photo.

Charleston was founded partly on the idea of religious freedom, but there was only one church, the Church of England, and it (Episcopal, post-revolution) is on Church Street. Other religions gathered in meeting places, and their (I didn't say churches) are all on Meeting Street.

The round thing that looks like a church is actually a meeting place, and is on Meeting Street. Parts of the cemetery are pre-revolution.

Old Charleston is below sea level in some spots. We experienced an extreme high tide and water suddenly started flowing up from the storm drains. We left, but I hear it actually soon surrounded their old market center, the brick structure.
