March, April, May and early June - and again in the
late autumn, are the great months to visit Charleston. Flowers burst forth in
the early spring and, if your residence is in a northern climate, you will
really appreciate the way Charleston's moist sea air cuddles you and does a
complete thaw. (Of course, in the late summers, that is the last thing you
want.) Downtown is splattered with all kinds of historic highlights (you'll
have to do some walking) and the Battery is a must see: a lovely park, benches
to sit on, trees for ample shade, and a view of the harbor which is constantly
changing. Bring a bag lunch - most everyone (who is in the know) does.

The
famous ante-bellum plantations are out SC-61 (Ashley River Road) except Boone
Hall which is out past Mount Pleasant just off US-17.
Charleston has several memorials (reminders)
of various wars the United States has survived: The Revolutionary War,
Civil Way and WW-II are primarily represented. A collection of World War II ships across the river from Charleston
is a sobering
reminder of what it took to preserve our freedom. Charleston is an education
but it is also a lot of fun. Please enjoy! |
