We spent a couple of days at a KOA campground in Mt. Pleasant , SC which is
about 20 minutes north of Charleston .
On one of our days, we wandered around Charleston
in the Marketplace area which is similar but much larger than Faneuil Hall in Boston . There were lots of
small booths selling local crafts, art, and specialty foods. Although the
weather was unsettled, we lucked out with a warm but overcast day. We took a
tour of the city on a horse drawn wagon and learned about the history of the homes,
buildings and the people who inhabited them.

On another day, we went on a Segway tour of Old Town , a
part of Mt. Pleasant
We also had an opportunity to visit with Tommy, a buddy of
Pete’s from his Navy days. Tommy lives about a half hour north of Mt. Pleasant
We were beginning to have good eats withdrawal and missing
our Local Eatery and the great dishes Chef Kevin Halligan prepares, so we went
on the prowl. We did find some good eats…Hot dogs at Jack’s Cosmic Dogs which was
featured on the Food Network. Then, at a restaurant called Graze, Pete had
Catfish with black eye pea, butterbean, and sweet corn succotash and I had Cinnamon
chili dusted scallops with sweet potato praline risotto. It was a visit to
remember.
Next stop, Savannah, Georgia!
