Downtown Charleston

After spending so much time out West and in the Florida panhandle, we are uncomfortable with the traffic and crowds in the area.  The streets of Charleston are full of tourists looking at the sights and old houses, so much so that I’m not sure if we saw anyone from Charleston while wandering the streets.  It was kind of funny where we, as tourists, were helping one another with directions.  But, it was nice seeing the well preserved older buildings.


 
At the bay is a battery.  In this case it’s just cannons lined up on two outward facing streets.  There’s a nice park with several statues commemorating the Civil War.

Got to mention, there’s a cable bridge in Charleston.  It’s very similar to the one in Savannah.  So much so that I was a bit lost trying to remember what town we’re in.  One of these pictures is Savannah while the other is Charleston.  OK, it's an H versus an A shaped bridge, but you don't notice that from the side.
