Charleston I

We are in Charleston! We have arrived after a 7-hour trip from Virginia to South Carolina (After passing throu North Carolina as well). We ate at the route in a Zaxby's some fried chicken and we drove again to reach our hotel. We were so tired that we needed to swim in the swimming-pool.

Later this evening, we took the hotel shuttle to the downtown, that is filled with beautiful tree-houses and churches in many colors, with a nice waterfront to the river Ashley.

The van left us in the promenade and we strolled around it. We saw a pineapple-shaped fountain, as well as historical houses that are in the property of the same family for more than 250 years. 

Charleston is the oldest and second-largest city in the state of South Carolina, as well as the biggest slave market until 1850's.

After walking around the city, we went to buy some groceries at a supermarket to the dinner and the breaksfast, and then we were picked up by the shuttle once again.
