Charleston, South Carolina

I just sayin’.
It has been a rare day when I haven’t had some sort of thought, image, or memory of my trek across Spain. It’s been six months and the journey is still fresh on my mind. Now, whenever I take a long walk, my body seems to recall the physical endurance it takes to walk 500 miles and walking a few hours is just becomes a “warm-up”.

If you aren’t aware, we have not been traveling. Actually, we are RV’less. We sold our Dutch Star late last year with the plan to take 2018 off from traveling and spend our time face lifting our home base in Virginia. After the projected year long “work me to death scenario,” we will transition to a 5th wheel. You would think making the decision would be an easy one….but no. There are so many complications to be factored. Renovation design and cost, size and year of truck to get and …. “really a fifth-wheel?.” If all goes according to plan we will be traveling again early next year.

The weather this winter was getting a little wonky so we were happy to take off for a few day early February and spend time in the warmer south at Charleston, South Carolina. This is one of my favorite places. Great food..great wine..great living.

Fort Moultrie National Park, Mt Pleasant–The first fort on Sullivan’s Island, constructed of palmetto logs and sand, was still incomplete when Commodore Sir Peter Parker of the Royal Navy and nine British men-of-war attacked it on June 28, 1776. After a nine-hour battle, the ships were forced to retire. Charlestown was saved from British occupation
Fort Moultrie National Park, Mt Pleasant–Today Fort Moultrie has been restored to portray the major periods of its history. A visitor to the fort moves steadily backwards in time from the World War II Harbor Entrance Control Post to the site of the Palmetto-log fort of 1776.
