Monday, November 12, Veteran's Day celebrated. Our rest day in Charleston.
After a leisurely breakfast, we went across the small park next to our hotel for massages. On the way back, Jody spotted the fountain in Marion Square - which bears the inscription of the Rotary four way test. We didn't have the camera, so didn't take pictures in the morning. Later, we decided to go walk about Charleston a bit. We took the camera and went back to snap these photos of the Marion Square Fountain.

Of the things we say and do:
Is it the truth?
Is it fair to all concerned?
Will it build good will
and better friendships?
Will it be beneficial to all concerned?

Had we not walked back to the fountain to take pictures, we would not have seen this:
Holocaust Memorial of Charleston.

This Memorial is in honor of the Holocaust survivors
who settled in South Carolina.
Their names are listed on this plaque.

That afternoon, we walked around historic downtown Charleston. We walked through the local market, down restaurant row, and down the waterfront. Beautiful small city. Many interesting sights. We stopped in a shop that carried nothing but hot pepper products - and yes, we bought some for ourselves and for Theo.These pictures are for Cokie:
Hers.
And his.
And for me, another dog that didn't chase me.
Permanently sleeping dalmatian,
outside the Charleston Fire Department.
In Charleston, we also repacked The Little Darkness. We may be upwards of 15 bottles of locally made hot sauce, hot pepper jam, and other hot fare. No, we do not think that's excessive! Yes, we will share.
