Charleston Day 2/Folly Beach

We have departed Charleston after taking a boat tour to Fort Sumter. We are now at Folly Beach, just a few miles down the road, only about 20-30 minutes from downtown Charleston. This is one of three nearby beaches to Charleston. When we told someone we were going to Folly Beach, they described it as "eclectic." I think that means it's a bit on the tacky side. We have a biker bar right across the street from our hotel. I think there are more bars than anything else in town. But it makes for interesting walks along the street. George Gershwin composed the music for Porgy and Bess here in 1934. He had a home on West Arctic Avenue. Tomorrow we will head up the road to Columbia, where we will visit Congaree National Park on Sunday morning and take a 3-hour guided canoe trip through the swamp.
