We took a lovely day trip to Charleston....about 2 hours from Murrell's Inlet. I love this city, especially the historic district. We enjoyed just wandering around looking in every alleyway, small lane and other intriguing nooks and crannies. The packed in houses that face the sea instead of the street were built that way to catch the ocean breezes.....before the days of air conditioning. There are so many historic houses restored to their former beauty. In the past we have toured some of these houses and taken the carriage tours as well.
We had lunch at Poogan's Porch, highly recommended by my son-in-law. We were not disappointed. The food was fabulous and atmosphere quaint. This house is reported to be haunted...but more about that in a future post.
Fried Alligator on the menu...passed on that.
I had the Grilled pork chop with pineapple chutney and sweet potato hash......delicious!
We couldn't resist wondering down a few lanes and found ourselves in a church yard/cemetery. I later found out that it is reportedly haunted...more on that later.
I call this the pineapple fountain.....don't know the real name but what a great picture with the cruise ship in the background....the same ship that we took last December on our cruise to the Bahamas.
If you have never been to Charleston, I highly recommend this beautiful city.....caution...boiling hot and humid in the summer.
