Second on the Second- Charleston from 3 Years Ago

    Hi everyone. Happy May 2. Today I'll be joining Bleubeard and Elizabeth for  their Second on the Second   link up. All you need to do to join in is to share a post you've already posted before.

     Since I've recently shared a couple of  posts about my latest weekend getaway to Charleston, South Carolina, and since I also visited there 3 years ago in early May, I thought I would make my second look about that city. One thing I did in 2023 when I visited with a friend was to walk around the historic downtown area. It's very beautiful there.  My friend and I took a lot of photos, and we poked around in some little stores and galleries.

      None of that interests my husband even the slightest bit, so on my visit a couple of weekends ago I did not go downtown. That is OK because we did some other things. 

       My post today has photos from a July 27, 2023 plus a few others from 2023 that I never posted and decided to include today. Warning, this is a heavy photo post. 































  Lots of photos, not a lot of writing.  Hope you enjoyed the views. Have a great first weekend in May!

You saw some sights that were beautiful and some that are quite interesting. I'm glad you had a good time on both your trips to the area.

I did enjoy the views, Erika, and hope to revisit Charleston, but not in summer months.

I have no idea where I was that day, but I don't remember one bit of this post. That means it's a first look for me. I love how you captured the southern charm and also a bit of the underbelly of Charleston. Thank you for sharing this post again as your second look on the 2nd.

To answer your question about the bird pages, these were loose leaf pages and didn't include the altered book. We chose that because it saved on postage. Three of us were from the U.S. and three from Europe.

Charleston is such a beautiful and charming little town. I bet you and your friends had a great time there.

Charleston is reputed to have a certain charm and these pictures reveal it. Too bad your husband wasn’t interested. Have a great Sunday. David
