We decided the best way to see Charleston was on a horse-drawn carriage ride. The houses are just gorgeous! We were able to go into one that had been turned into a museum. The houses have side porches that face towards the ocean breeze. They have doors to the outside front yard and back in the day, if the door was open, that meant the ladies of the house were accepting visitors. If the doors were closed, that meant the ladies less dressed in order to cool themselves off on the porch, so gentlemen were not to call then. There is a market downtown where people sell arts and crafts. There are a lot of woven reed baskets being made right there. The cobblestone streets are charming!
