We reluctantly left Charleston on Thursday. We spent the morning Wednesday poking around in some of the wonderful antique and curiosity shops on King Street. I was thrilled to find a book we had as children: The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes, which I am pretty certain Anthony and Lucy will enjoy. We have a great time reading and I can't wait! This book was published by a Charleston woman whose father made up the story to tell her at bedtime.
A word about food: fun to eat and fun to photograph. I overheard someone (who shall remain nameless) saying "Can you imagine all these people photographing their food??" With the advent of camera in phones it's become kind of a hobby, I guess. So I decided to take pictures of memorable meals and they have taken on a life of their own. The food in Charleston has been pretty unforgettable. So here's our lunch on our last day at the historic 82 Queen ~ shrimpngrits with fried green tomatoes and a scallop po'boy. Mmmmm.
We took a short boat tour of the harbor in the afternoon, nice in the cool breeze. Ft. Sumpter was not much to look at so I am omitting photos, but here are a few images:
And finally, back to The Mustard Seed for another great dinner that says it all: shrimp potstickers, PEI mussels, sauteed spinach, and asparagus, cocoanut cake and Key Lime pie. Whoo-doggies!
After our wonderful week, Mrs. B and I said goodbye at the airport, vowing not to let another 9 years (!) go by without getting together. She flew off to Albuquerque and I drove back to Durham for the weekend with Barbara.
