The Turk needed more immersion into the history and culture
of the south. So, between Christmas and
New Years we hightailed it up to Charleston, with a quick, fun stop in Atlanta
to visit Judy, Dave, Kati.
We wanted to see Charleston in all of its holiday low country splendor, and wanted to try some
of the outstanding foods. Charleston is
considered a food town and we didn’t want to miss anything! Oh, and of course we wanted to just wander
the town to discover beautiful homes, gardens, secret alleys and interesting
shops. Check, check, check – all
accomplished!
Here are examples of some of the holiday decorations - all using fresh fruit, flowers, leaves and branches. We even saw nests and peacock feathers!
