Charleston is one of my favorite places to visit. There are so many stories buried in the city’s history and I am always intrigued by its textures, scents and scenes. The cobblestone streets from 200 hundred years ago transport you back in time.
As we walked every block of the downtown area, I was amazed at the sheer number of art galleries. They are everywhere! At one intersection, buried a block or two away from main streets, galleries were on each corner - I’m not kidding!
The food was wonderful – I could not have eaten another bite of shrimp and grits. {I think we tried every version the city had to offer!} And while we ate at some of the top spots, we both agreed that none of them could beat Jacob’s Kitchen in Mt. Pleasant, just a short drive over the beautiful bridge.
I was disappointed in the shopping on famed King Street, not nearly as many home decor shops as I would have liked and the ones that were there had the names of Pottery Barn, Williams Sonoma, and Pierre Deux. The antique stores were truely traditional and while beautiful, they didn’t have entice me to walk in.
Nevertheless, I was still in heaven with all the eye candy from the architecture of buildings and homes and from all the wonderful gardens! Just LOOK at those beautiful doors inset into the brick building above. Gorgeous!
