We had a wonderful tour of Charleston. The bus picked us up from our hotel on time and we snuggled in to our seat for a 2 hour ride. The first part of the tour was a horse drawn carriage. We had a great tour guide and a great horse! Then we went shopping at the French Quarter area. We only had about an hour to do this. We then took a trip to the boat dock and got on a ferry boat to go to the small island where the civil began years ago. We had an offer early in the morning to go on an air craft carrier, however, we did not know that we could change our minds and take the air craft carrier tour instead of the ferry boat ride to Fort Sumpter. If you did not speak up early, you could not take the air craft carrier tour. So with disappointment, we had to stick with the ferry boat ride. We got a box lunch which was really good and then we went to the plantation. Now, that was really interesting - wish we could have spent more time there. Great tour!!!
