While they were rehearsing--don't remember the venue--I took the time to do a self-guided walking tour of the city. It is truly magnificent. I can only imagine how Spoleto adds to the ambiance. One of these days, I'll make it back for a visit--maybe during festival time!Kaithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07758348842858993203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-74355065031200066912016-06-21T12:16:52.973-04:002016-06-21T12:16:52.973-04:00Gloria, you would love it.

The music, the plays, the tours all sound like something I'd want to experience, but although I've long wanted to visit Charleston, I think I'll head there in cooler weather.

I know now why it's important to have winter and summer homes!<br /><br />Margaret, I've always wanted to go to Cincinnati!<br /><br />KM, your lists and mine sound similar!<br /><br />Grace, there's no place like it.<br /><br />Shari, please come. It's called the Holy City because of the number of churches located there. Our tour guide pointed out that South Carolina was one of the few colonies that welcomed any religion and also encouraged theatrical entertainments. Charleston still benefits from those influences.<br /><br />Warren, it's a grand dance to enjoy!Paula Gail Bensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08843350597811462936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-78754095195597254612016-06-21T10:03:02.749-04:002016-06-21T10:03:02.749-04:00It looks like we are all dancing the Charleston.It looks like we are all dancing the Charleston.Warren Bullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789270258599769915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-24865573219589052792016-06-21T09:14:08.254-04:002016-06-21T09:14:08.254-04:00I'm dying to go to Charleston!

However, I must say, if my choice were Charleston in very late spring, or somewhere in the Northwoods where nothing much was happening, I’d still prefer the cooler Northwoods.Jim Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15090252530437277145noreply@blogger.com
