More of Charleston

Our Sailor...
Scott is a happy man...watching Nascar outside in the warmth - we just finished our dinner of barbequed steaks...Life is Good!

One of the many churches in Charleston - it's called the Holy City. This was has a lean to it due to damage caused by an earthquake over 100 years ago.


The buttons 1/2 way up the wall are to repair the earthquake damage - they are attached to steel rods that go all the way through the house.

Arthur Ravenel, Jr bridge, with a main span of 1,546 feet is the longest cable stayed bridge that carries vehicles other than public transportation(ie passenger cars) in the western hemisphere. It connects downtown Charleston and Mount Pleasant and has a pedestrian walkway which we used.

The view of Patriots point from the bridge. I couldn't get a good picture of downtown because of the angle of the sun.

The walkway...
