Here's a view of Ft. Moultrie on Sullivan's Island. It's a little colder than we'd like, but when the sun came out it was breezy but tolerable. We toured the fort, then walked on the beach for a while. We saw pelicans dive-bombing for breakfast, then slugging down the fish that they caught. We saw piping plovers scurrying at the waters edge, their legs moving as fast as pistons, and we saw dolphins making lazy circles as they dove and surfaced just past the waves. Behind them we could see the skyline of Charleston with all of the church steeples piercing the sky and between them and downtown Charleston sat Ft. Sumter. We'll go visit that tomorrow.
Here's the new bridge connecting Charleston and Mt. Pleasant. When we lived here, there were two bridges over the Cooper River. One was ancient, wooden and rickety. The second wasn't as ancient, but didn't inspire much confidence either. The new one is beautiful - it's solid, wide, and breathtaking in its simple design. It's a good thing I wasn't driving because I wanted to get a shot from the middle of the bridge!
Tonight: the Ghost and Graveyard tour!
