Sweltering Day In Charleston!

This morning we decided to go into the city of Charleston. We left relativity early, the temperatures are to reach 85 to 90 degrees. We took the dinghy to the city marina, paid for a day pass and set out on foot for the visitors center. The day had already reached high temps and as you can see the dog in the fountain new how to get cool. If I though I could get away with it I would have joined him.

After checking out the visitors center we walked across the street to the museum. We always manage to spend many hours no matter what museum we go into. This one was no different, it was late in the afternoon when we emerged to the sidewalk again. While we were in the museum a group of about 75 school kids converged on us. It felt like an invasion, no more quiet museum. They seemed to be enjoying themselves and left just before us.

Charleston has many beautiful gardens like this one tucked away off the street. If you do nothing else the architecture and the landscaping are worth the trip into the city.

After the museum we walked to the market and found Bubba Gump's Restaurant and had a late lunch. By this time my feet were about walked out and we looked for the Dash Bus. We didn't ride it a long way but it cut out some of the walk back to the marina.

We got back to the boat just before 7 PM. We had been gone longer than we had planned but time passes when you are having fun. We relaxed and read until the sun set then retreated below decks for and early evening.
