We then strolled through the markets and found a place for breakfast. More markets before driving to Patriot's Point for a look at the Aircraft Carrier, USS Yorktown.

Spent a bit of time in the gift shop and made a few purchases, including a Confederate Officer's sword which Ian wanted. Then we boarded the General Beauregard for a cruise of the harbour which included a stop at Fort Sumter which is the site where the first shot of the Civil War was fired.

It was about 4pm when we left Charleston and drove down I95 to Hardeeville for the night. On the way we stopped for a stretch at a little store called Carolina Cider where we met a traveling magician (and all round good guy) who was feeding his birds and little dog. He is Houdini and you can read all about him at his website at http://www.welcome2thegame.com. Here is his photo...
Booked in to a Days Inn motel and had dinner at the Waffle House.

I know that dog... There's no place like home Toto, there's no place like home!!
On a more serious note, you need to know that I have even more respect for you now Heather than I had when you decided to marry my big brother! As kids we only had to listen to his 'tall tales and true from the legendary past', you have to live them all. I'd watch him though if he spots a big Yella dog, as he'll get all misty eyed and soft. So pleased you're having a great time and we trust the beers on the balcony remain cold for the rest of your trip. Take it easy, Mark & Kerri.
