On the way to Washington D.C in last December, I stopped over at Charleston, South Carolina. As you can see in the map from my posting dated February 5, 2009, Charleston is slightly East from I-95, the highway which I took to Washington D.C.. I don’t know why I should visit Charleston even though I had to take a roundabout way to my final destination. Maybe it’s because of romantic sentiments which come from the images of great cotton fields and passionate people of Sounthern cities. Charleston was an origin of Civil War and the center of the South at that time. I just wanted to experience an atmosphere of the South in Charleston. 
I walked around Historic District in Charleston. The views of Charleston which I saw during walking were just beautiful. I could see lovely houses or beautiful churches on every corner and every street of Charleston. The most unforgettable scene is the European mansions along Copper River which has preserved the style of pre Civil War. They looked so antique and made the street views more attractive.The first image is a picture of East Battery in Charleston and the second is a photo taken in the garden of one beautiful mansion in Charleston.
Humm~another place in the U.S.~I think you really like to trip. how about grand canyon? It's rellay beautiful place. I never forgrt the place, especilly the first view. It's around 12 hours by driving car, so you can go to trip with your husband during the spring break. I will go to there with my family again before go back to Korea. anyway, spend your time more fun for leaving in Austin.
