South of Broad

It's hard to believe that the 4th of July is just a little over a week

away.  We are having one heavy thunderstorm after another and

the dark clouds are making it nearly impossible to get any good 

pics of my house and projects, so I decided to devote the next

week taking y'all on mini visits to some of my favorite cities and

towns of this great land.

I have been so very fortunate to travel to so many far off lands

and I have enjoyed so many different cultures and styles, but for

me there is only one place I call home and that is right here in

the USA. Our nation is so diverse in climate, culture and fashion.

There is truly something for everyone to enjoy here.  So let's

start celebrating the beauty we have right here at home.

First stop ~ Charleston, South Carolina in an area known as

"South of Broad".

Charleston is the quintessential southern city.  Live Oaks dripping
with moss, palm trees, brick pathways, verandas, long narrow and
shuttered windows.  A city where tradition is revered.  Horse drawn
carriages, sweet tea, delicious sea food.  A city that is both hip and
historic.  Perhaps the most charming area of this city is the section
south of Broad.  I am going to stop talking and let you enjoy this
area on your own.  It is one of our nation's treasures.

Charm, elegance, historic significance.  I could go on and on.
One of our treasured southern cities.  From sea to shining sea,
this is a truly great land.

Stay tuned for more special places to love in the USA this
week leading up to Independence Day.
