The Sights and Sounds of Downtown Charleston South Carolina

 

After the conclusion of the Sunday Historic Walking Tour, Jeff (Indulge the Wanderlust) and I wanted to see more of downtown Charleston, South Carolina. There’s so much history and culture that Charleston has to offer including beautiful waterfronts and parks.
