Day 23 - Charleston

Today we went separate ways to explore Charleston.
Lars and myself walked thru the central neighbourhood down to the bay.
All the houses around here are beautiful and look like the ones you see in the movies from the colonial times; that´s because these houses are from the colonial times.
Talked to a guy who lives there and he told me that Charleston is created by British, French, Irish, Jamacian and Netherlandish(?) people who immigrated in the 1800s.
The town is full of small restaurant, wineries and galleries.
Lars went to the confederate museum and learned something about the history of America.
I went to a winery to taste and buy wine.
Erik has been to the gym(!) and had a massage today. Nice.
We meet at starbucks in the hotel lobby and went for dinner in the same italian restaurant as yesterday. Great food and wine.
Tonight a thunderstorm went over Charleston and we went to the top floor in the parking garage to take photos. We got soaked!
Tomorrow we are heading further north along the coast(maybe; it´s not planned yet) towards Washington and New York.
Local time is 11:24 at night and Lars just went out (it has just stopped raining) to take some photos. Cool.
