Charleston Where the Civil War began

Charleston  is a beautiful city with delightful old mansions and real atmosphere. We enjoyed our first warm day since leaving Australia and walked the city for hours




We also went by boat out to Fort Sumter where the first shot of the American Civil War was fired. A very interesting visit with a very local interpretation of the events! Most enjoyable.

We have very slow wifi so will try for more in 2 days. We sail on to Fort Lauderdale and then the Caribbean

What do you mean civil war. Matt tells me EVERYBODY knows it was the war of northern aggression. :-0
