One of Charleston's nicknames is The Holy City because so many church steeples are prominent in it's skyline. We visited St. Michael's German Lutheran Church this morning.
In addition to churches, Charleston boasts many other examples of fine architecture. This is a federal Custom House one of Charleston's many Classic Greek style buildings.
We grabbed Subway for lunch and headed to Waterfront Park to enjoy the amazing weather. The pavilions you see have small tables for picnics as well as several porch swings!
The boat I would like to own someday does not need to be much bigger than this one. We were standing on the pier next to relative of the people eon the boat. A little girl was calling to her dad to be sure to hold tight to her little brother so that we would not fall in!
There are tons of beautiful iron gates in Charleston. There are difficult to photograph so I hope to draw a few to frame and put up in out apartment.
This is one of the fountains in Waterfront Park.
We took turns wading in it!
Chuck makes a new friend. He was a human sized frog sculpture at one of the many art galleries we ducked into during our walk around the city.
St. Philip's Episcopal Church. Beautiful. Lot's of the churches, including St. Philip's in Charleston have their own cemeteries right on the premises.
Charleston was a great choice for a vacation. I would love to go again and encourage you all to visit it. Plus I got a bit of a tan!
