This morning our tour is "Fort Sumter and the Civil War". We took a bus to the place where you catch the boat that takes you to Fort Sumter. There we just walked around and stopped in the museum where they have a nice display of articles from the Civil War. Down here in South Carolina, they call it the War of Northern Aggression. We returned to the shore and rebounded the bus and rode around Charleston while the guide pointed out things left from the Civil War.
We then headed out of town to visit the Citadel. This was very interesting. The freshmen students have to walk double time and not on the sidewalks. They now have women students here so they do not get their heads shaved but their hair is cut short. But they double time also. The freshmen also do not have their names on their jackets. Maybe they think they will not last. Who knows.
We returned to the ship for a quick lunch but we were joined by Susan from South Florida. So we talked for about 45 minutes. Closed the Veranda. Then back for our nap.
By this time the weather had changed and was now raining. So I did not go back into town. Save that for another time. We are not that far from Charleston so maybe when the weather warms, will drive up again.
Got dressed for dinner and had cocktails in the Stars Lounge. Matt joined us for a bit. Then to dinner. Tonight we were eating with Florian. He is the Food and Beverage Manager. It was a table for 7. One couple from Arizona and one other from Brooklyn and Orlando. Bob and I both had the lobster and enjoyed it.
Returned to the cabin and lights out.
