Our second full day in Charleston looked a bit like the first. It started with breakfast in the hotel, then we went to Goodwill to exchange a couple of the items we had purchased the day before. Then we drove into the city with the intent of touring some churches. But not many churches were open on a Tuesday afternoon. We saw the interior of just one. But we did sit outside Mother Emanuel and reviewed the horrible events of the Charleston Church Massacre.
We stumbled across Charleston Place, a very nice hotel in the central city. It had a wonderful horse fountain outside, a beautiful chandelier inside and a Black Market/White House shop inside – Marlene’s favorite clothing store.
When we got back to the hotel we fixed ourselves a couple of nice rum-and-cokes which we drank at the pool while consuming snacks. Dinner was ramen noodle soup which, believe it or not, we actually like. We prepared it ourselves in the lobby microwave. We had a donut for dessert. Fine dining at its best.
