My ship came in

Charleston Harbor, Charleston, S.C.

I was going through old albums and took a fresh look at this photo. Wow....that is a big ship! I was invited out on the media boat early one morning when the cruise ship Fantasy sailed into the harbor. What a fun place to see the action from. Here were a few more shots from that day.

It's pretty hot out there, kids. I hope you are proud of me for going for my walk this evening. Drip, drip.

Cruising Charleston

Market St., Charleston, S.C.

Most cruise ship visits seem to happen during the week when I am at work and I've barely noticed the impact. It is a startling sight to see the huge Carnival Fantasy pulled up right at the end of Market St. Usually I can tell when a ship is in town by the huddle of people clustered on the sidewalks around places that have free wifi. I don't what the arrival and departure times are but the streets were packed and restaurants were full today. Was something else big going on in town?

I had to reward myself for my morning of hard labor cleaning out my attic so I walked down and enjoyed a chicken pita pocket at Tabbuli Grill's new outdoor patio. By the time I left every table was full.
