we drove through the carolinas on our way down towards charleston, passing kudzu-covered trees, thunderstorms, and a peach stand we had to stop at.

| not pictured or (regrettably) purchased: peach ice cream |
the sky had cleared by the time we reached the outskirts of charleston. it's a beautiful little town on the water, with a french quarter that we both thought was even nicer to look at than the one in new orleans.

| view from the bridge into town. check out the enormous container ships in the background! |
 |
| waterfront park |
 |
| kids playing in a fountain. there was lots of screaming going on, but the good kind. |

 |
| i don't have a lot of pictures of the french quarter, but here's a cool theatre. |

on the way down, we'd stopped at a bbq place on some back road north of town - Snap had seen it recommended on a food show called
Mind of a Chef - but we were disappointed to find it closed. we did get a lucky break with dinner, though: we stopped on a street corner to check our phones and see if we could find something nearby, and it turned out that the fancy, "James Beard-nominated" restaurant right across the street from us has a $5 burger night every monday.
 |
| yeah, food photos. this is Snap's kim chi burger with egg. |
 |
| there was a cool three-story, glassed-in wine room on one wall. |
