Before we could leave Beaufort we just had to cruise a few more streets that we missed yesterday. The lush, new, spring greenery contrasted dramatically with the old stately buildings.
There was a number of old homes for sale or in stages of deterioration. We can only hope that someone will rescue them and return them to their former glory.
A "low clearance" sign warns of an imposing overhead "obstruction".
This morning we drove over to Charleston where we thought we might spend the night but it was so packed, we felt claustrophobic with the congestion of all this traffic and humanity so we decided to move on since we have already visited, and thoroughly explored this fine old city many years ago. We shall return in a less busy time
Last time we were in Charleston we crossed an old bridge that this spectacular new bridge replaces.
Tonight we stopped in Hendersonville near Asheville NC so we can drive part of the incredible Blue Ridge Parkway tomorrow. We stayed in a spotlessly clean Red Roof Inn right beside an Outback Steak House. Great combination.
