Charleston, still...

A historic-looking house in the Holy City with a colorful mural and equally colorful message.
Taking a break to relax before doing some more relaxing on the boat.
Where the rivers and the ocean meet...isn't it a bit romantic-looking?
Just one of the major churches in the "Holy City"...I think this is St. Michaels Episcopal Church.
The other big steeple in Charleston belongs to St. Philips Episcopal Church.
If you want to know more about the history of Charleston and of South Carolina, these six flags may tell you a lot about it.
I just had to include this lighthouse; Spartanburg natives will love this picture because it may remind them to go get a Chili Cheese-A-Plenty and a Beacon iced tea.
I wanted to include a decent shot of those "scary" bridges that you WILL ride over in Charleston; there are also many people here who love boats and ships.
There are so many kinds of wildlife in Charleston; the bird on a park bench is classic!
If you think birds are awesome, wait until you ride one of these horses on a carraige ride through beautiful Downtown Charleston.
Some more colorful houses on the colorful Rainbow Row, which is located on the historically colorful Battery.
A colorful arrangement of gum; are people having an outdoor classroom on this street corner? (Fact: Charleston police, like school teachers, have been cracking down on sticking pieces of chewed gum on places that they do not belong - http://www.charleston.net/news/2008/jun/03/city_chomping_down_on_gum_vandalsby_glen43168/)
The great thing about Charleston (besides the city) is that you are only ten minutes away from the beach (this was taken at Folly Beach). Make sure to wear plenty of sunscreen, or you will wind up looking redder than a lobster!



These last four pictures say it all.
