Charleston Day 12...
Today was a more volunteering, tremendous walking, history absorbing and just delighting day. Our volunteer time in the Visitors' Center allowed us to meet a lot of interesting people... the other workers included. George, a tour guide, told us a great deal of local history which was a huge perk for working there.
We experienced a joggling board- something found normally found on a piazza (porch). This board is "good for courting couples (the bouncing action moves you closer together) and for rheumatism (it provides gentile exercise).
Lunch was at Jestine's Kitchen which came recommended by several people. How can you resist the review, "There isn't a better table anywhere to taste time-honored southern delights." While waiting in line, we struck up a conversation with the lady in front of us and ended up dining with her and her husband. Nancy and Ray are staying in our campground and their son lives in Temecula. Small world.
We meandered taking various photos around town that depict Charleston's history and architecture: The Hunley Submarine; unique earthquake bolts installed after the big quake of 1886; the Rhett-Aiken Double House, and the "nationally significant" in relation to the history of the development of the railroad in America- Camden Depot.
Someone once said, of Historic Downtown Charleston, that he had spent his entire life here and each day he would notice something completely new to him, a surprise he had never seen before. We know that even though we will be here for over a month, there will still be wonderment left for another visit.
