Chapter Two: Charleston Chew


-->
            The journey to Charleston was delayed due to a requested detour to a historic plantation, which turned out to be a bit too expensive for our budget.  The detour wasn’t entirely fruitless, as we caught a glimpse of some rare specimens of quail, or possibly pheasants.  On the way we found a nice place to enjoy some good old Carolina BBQ and hush puppies.
            The Priceline Negotiator® was able to secure us a very decent room at a desirable rate for one night outside of Charleston, and we got to enjoy the rest of the evening in the city, which we decided is kind of like a more southern version of Old Town Alexandria.  We got to experience the local fare at a town hotspot where we enjoyed half price burgers and $4 pitchers of PBR.
            Tomorrow we are checking out the downtown market in Charleston before heading out towards Savannah, GA.  Apparently Savannah is nice, but more importantly it is the location of the bench from Forrest Gump.  -L
