After sleeping late we took the marina van to downtown to begin our walking tour. We saw many of the government buildings which have a lot of history behind them. We stumbled upon a museum that proved to be a real educational experienc - The Museum of Slavery. The museum was in the actual building where the slaves were sold. We learned a lot through the many recorded interviews with former slaves.
The old financial exchange building with it's dunguens, historical tour and artifacts was also interesting especially considering that we were surrounded by 50 school kids!
Incidentally we met a couple from Hamburg Germany who have been around the world twice in a sailboat!! met another guy who just came into the marina from the far out Bahamas ( forty hours of heavy weather (10 to 15 foot waves - he stated that the crew was not happy!)
Charleston the town where the civil war began is a real historical treat.
