Charleston, S.C., the Holy City

We are in Charleston, S.C. This is our second visit here. I don't remember a whole lot about the first visit except that it was a while back and it was for my birthday. We had some good food. But other than that, I don't recall much. I think we visited an old house (there are lots of them here) and I know we drove north of town to visit an aircraft carrier and maybe a submarine or some other kind of military vessel. We plan to do a lot of walking tomorrow, which will be good. I think Charleston is probably a good city for walking. We took a peditaxi to dinner tonight, largely because we had just arrived in town and it was dark and we didn't know our way around. A peditaxi is basically a guy on a bicycle who pulls you along behind him. I thought maybe it was one of those rickshaw thingies but it was a double-wide open seater contraption. We enjoyed dinner at Hank's seafood restaurant. There were two women sitting at the table next to us who spoke French the entire time. I kept wanting to throw out my few words of French: "Enchantez...Merci....Oui...Ici." Fortunately, I refrained. But their French was kind of like a linguistic elevator music in the background.
