We loved, LOVED Charleston. We had such a good time there. It is so much fun to explore such a historic city. We parked the Cruisemaster in our friend Kevin’s apartment complex parking lot and stayed at his place for the week. He was a great host, he really made me proud to be able call him my friend. Cannot wait to explore Denver in October with him.
We saw all the mansions and old homes and we just in awe. Oneight we went out and bought a 12 pack of various import and microbrew beers and tasted beer allight, to some it sounds boring. But to us it was awesome. Guess we are pretty boring.
We managed to find a dog park and a Thai restaurant while there. The dog park rates in out top 10, maybe top five. It was quite large and had aice lake with beaches for the dogs to play. The only drawback is that it was located at James Island State Park and had a fee everytime we went 🙁
The Thai restaurant, Basil, was really good, a little expensive but very good. It hasice outdoor seating. After speaking with people about Basil it made me wish I had tried the famous tri-pepper sauce 🙁
One of the bestights was when the three of us had a great Italian dinner. Sharon and I the day before had attended a timeshare. We hadot done one in a while so we felt we had the energy to sit through the spiel and sayo,o, it just isnt the right time, it sounds great though, but we LIVE IN A MOTORHOME!!! Anyway, we got $50 gift certificate to Bocci’s. It was such a great atmosphere, food and wine. Highly recommend it! Afterwards we strolled through the historic downtown streets.
Another gift we received from attending the timeshare presentation was a Guided Tour of Charleston’s Seedier Side. It was pretty lame. Cannot recommend the “r” rated tour of Charleston.
Finally, oneight we decided to do our own tour of haunted places in Charleston. We visited St. Philips Church and graveyard, Slave Mart, and the most documented haunted place the Dock Street Theater. I was determined to get a paranormal shot. Well, HELLO!! We got one (see photo above) The photo was taken of the theater exterior with the hopes of getting a ghost peaking out of window. Instead I got what looks like a figure up close! The pink tracer lights, or orbs as paranormal investigators call them really freaked me out. The ectoplasm was also a little freaky. Not sure what happened, all i know is it was a totally clear evening and there wereo lights in front of the cmera, and the cameraever moved as it was on a tripod. This is one photo I will always keep, it is soo spoooookyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!
