I also visited Charleston this year. The cobble stones you walked on are actually ballast stones that came over from Britain in the trading ships. The ships needed the stones on the way to America for added weight but when the cargo of cotton was loaded on for the journey back to Britain the stones were no longer needed. Thus the stones were then used to cobble the streets. That’s a fun fact we learned on our trip. I hope you get to tour one of the plantations on your trip. We went to the Boone Hall plantation. Savannah is another beautiful city full of history. ❤

It seems as though people from other countries don't think America deserves historical respect because we are a younger country. When in fact America not only does have a rich & long history but we also celebrate & preserve that history. Hopefully we can learn to avoid some of the mistakes we have made in the past from our history. Historically significant places such as Charleston not only exist here but they are all over this country. So glad you visited & posted this! Charleston is indeed beautiful!! Thanks!!

Charleston can be a foodie's heaven but you do need reservations. Book early as they fill up fast. Some of my favorites unfortunately are gone, courtesy of the pandemic. You might want to try Fleet Landing Restaurant & Bar. You probably don't have time for it but Magnolia Plantation is a very interesting place to visit. They have various tours around the plantation and the gardens are beautiful. I always stop there when I get to Charleston. You can easily spend a whole day there and they get busy quickly so if you do get to go, go EARLY! Pick up a copy of the official visitor's guide. Your hotel should have a copy. Lots to do and see in Charleston and loaded with history.

Arriving off Charleston, South Carolina, in mid-May 1718, Blackbeard the Pirate blockaded the port for a week, seizing prizes and hostages for ransom. This infamous feat “struck a great Terror to the whole Province of Carolina.” Plundering eight or nine ships for supplies and specie, Blackbeard held hostages, including Samuel Wragg, a councilman. Under the threat of the hostages being murdered, a reluctant Governor Robert Johnson agreed to a ransom of a valuable chest of medicine.

They were kind enough to stop near a pharmacy so I could get some anti-hystamine and away from the horses. I only remember one other thing about Charleston - the Earthquake Bolts that go through the buildings, and end with a decorative cap, since one of the US's largest earthquakes actually happened in Charleston, not California like you'd think.

I'm actually named after a decendent of Captain Mey. Cape May the oldest seaside resort in America and the beautiful Victorian homes are worth the visit as they are all on the historic register and have strick rules to keep them historic in structure and color schemes. There are also wonderful eating places and fun bars as well as a pedestrian mall with great ambience especially at Christmas time.

I grew up between Charleston & Savannah in a little SC coastal town called Beaufort. I recommend a stop there some time when you're between the larger cities. It's known as "Beautiful Beaufort by the Sea" and resembles a little Charleston. I've lived in both Charleston (12 years) and Savannah (3 years). Charleston is cleaner, quieter, more "classic" and Savannah has more of the party reputation. I moved to Savannah first and decided it wasn't for me, but Charleston was perfect. North of Charleston, a little town called Georgetown is another small coastal town with beautiful features. The SC coastal towns are classic, full of culture, and beautiful. We can't forget the beaches either. Hunting Island near Beaufort is a must-see. It is one of the last remaining natural barrier islands on the east coast. Isle of Palms & Sullivan's Island in the Charleston area offer some beautiful beaches, Folly Beach off James Island, and Pawleys Island farther north, closer to Myrtle Beach are all recommended. I hope you had an amazing time! We always eat at Hymans Seafood and/or 82 Queen when in Charleston, but I highly recommend riding to Shem Creek in Mt Pleasant (the northern coastal side of Charleston) and visiting the Shem Creek restaurants. They sit on the water, accessible by boat, and have live music on weekends. We always stop at Red's Ice House. ❤

You actually had a little bit of Rainbow Row in your video. I hope you got to do the tours because they are very educational and help you know more about the history of Charleston. Also, go to the market!! The woman who make the sweet grass baskets are AMAZINGLY talented. And if you like learning about language, attend one of the Gullah seminars around town. They teach you a little of the language, the food, and the history of early slaves. It is fascinating and impressive how long their culture has survived and how deep it runs in their families. My daughters loved having the Gullah women come to their schools. They are natural born story tellers. Next time visit some of the beaches. Botany Bay in Edisto is one of my favorites. It isn't far from Charleston and worth the short walk to the beach. Great for a video or pictures. I have tons of pics to share if you'd like, just shoot me a message.

One other thought - ghost tours. We love ghost tours in my family. I've taken countless ghost tours over the years, from Key West to Colorado. Only 2 have ever given me creepy feelings: Waverly Hills in Louisville, KY (an old TB hospital that was abandoned and now operates specifically for ghost hunting) and the Old City Jail in Charleston. If you choose a tour, the jail is "the one" to choose. Most tour guides will tell you they will only do so many of the jail tours before they refuse to do more. It was the site of the hanging of the first female serial killer if I remember correctly. Going in the jail makes the hair on my neck stand on end. I hope you got to experience it because I would love to hear some perspective. There are a lot of haunted places in the oldest cities in America, but I feel the deep south has some of the darkest history and, resultingly, some of the creepiest places.
