ontinued heading up the coast, doing a state a day on the way to New York. The storms that have been savaging the mid west finally reached here. thankfully not depositing the snow and ice they dumped on St Louis, but bringing rain and cold. Took refuge at Middleton Place, which has the oldest formal garden in North America as well as the tomb of one of the signatories to the declaration of independence. Lovely gardens full of birds. The Alligators were all hiding though. Travelled into Charleston, which has a wonderful position on a peninsula between two rivers. It looked pretty good in the rain, hoping the sun will appear tomorrow so I can see it in all its glory.
