Charleston

I had a nice meetup in Charleston SC with my friends Dick and Wilma.  We toured the city...and ate well.  Here's the Ravenel Bridge.

Elegant Chucktown homes on the Battery.

More Battery homes.  

A particularly impressive estate.

The Ravenel Bridge with a fine four master going on by.  We were waiting for the ferry to...

Fort Sumter.  

The fort was mostly destroyed during the Civil War.  It's been restored to some degree but there are still Federal shells embedded in the walls from the Union siege of 1863-4.

Here's a cannon, probably one used during the Civil War at the fort.

On the way back to the mainland, we passed a cruise ship, with the USS Yorktown in the background.
