Toward the end of our week on Edisto Island, we signed up for a tour to Charleston. Included in our fee was transportation to and from Charleston, a guided bus tour in Charleston, a tour of the Josef Manigault house, and then lunch and "on your own" time.
The weather man said it was going to be 70* the day of our tour, so I (and apparently others on the bus as well) dressed for 70* weather and gosh darn if it never got more than 60*. We were cold! It was that ocean "breeze" that was keeping the temps down.
Being a bit chilly aside, I loved Charleston! One day just wasn't enough to really tour everything. It would have been nice to have done the bus tour, then to have had a couple more days to go back and crawl around a couple more historic homes, the Citadel, the waterfront and whatever else grabbed our fancy. Alas! We must go back!
Josef Manigault "House"; it was comprable in size to some of today's McMansions.
St. Michaels Church; George Washington attended service here.
Beautiful iron work was prevelent throughout the city.

Charleston is one of my favorites cities to visit. We stayed a WEEK and still didn't see everything we would have liked to see.
I think we are going back in May.
Glad you had a wonderful vacation. You pictures have been beautiful.
