Return to Charleston

Puddles of moonlight on a glassy, smooth harbor. Fresh shrimp coupled with stone-ground grits. Palmettos dancing in an ocean breeze. I fell in love with these things on my very first visit to Charleston, that oh-so-Southern belle perched happily on the coast of South Carolina. Even now, memories of that long-ago trip bring an unbidden smile. Though I’m a wanderer by nature, I continue to return to my first love. While it’s certain that some things about this city never change, like a true lady, Charleston likes to keep us guessing. Just when I think I know all her secrets, I notice little additions and shifts that make her more enticing than ever.

Check out some of the surprises I found on my last visit.
