You see a lot of houses as you drive through several residential areas and a few churches along the way. No stopping to take pictures.

Enjoyed the respite from the rain. Lots of good information. Shawn was great! Thanks for waiting for us, as some roads were closed due to nor'easter!

We took the Adventure Sightseeing Bus tour of Charleston S.C. this afternoon. Spent 90 minutes with Shawn, as he drove and narrated our tour of the city. Very knowledgeable, engaging and a good driver too! Well worth it!
