April 25, Charleston, South Carolina

















,
After yesterday's rain, we were very pleased to see the weather looked like clearing, so off we went to downtown Charleston, S.C.  One Uber trip into town, because Dirk had a nightmare last night about driving his 32' motor home into town and parking it in the garage, so it was definitely Uber to the rescue.
We went on an historic downtown tour, once again some very old, well kept old homes, totally different architecture to Savannah.  Unfortunately the tour was in a closed bus and no stopping along the way, photographs were hard to get without the window frame, but Dirk managed to get some.  We also found out why yesterdays rain storm caused such terrible flooding.  The storm broke at the same time as High Tide and when the two met there was nowhere else to go.  Years ago the powers that be at the time, closed up all canals that would have absorbed that amount of water, and not caused the flooding.   Once again we were impressed by the South.
We then took Henry's advice and went to the famous Hymans restaurant, for a fabulous seafood lunch, sorry I had seafood lunch but Dirk had a chicken sandwich. Then Ubered back to camp.
