Charleston
Charleston is a fantastic city from the outsider-touristy point of view. It is beautifully architected, clean, pleasant and has an art gallery or museum every 5 feet.
It is a conservative and modest city - a majority of the people we saw were dressed in summery dresses and button down shirts, and all the galleries were populated with traditional fine art.
While walking downtown, we spoke with a girl who worked in an art store. She confirmed my thinking that it was a friendly city on the surface, but underneath it was a super conservative, gossipy town, which she personally was ready to leave.
She recommended us to head to Folly Beach, a place she described as more real, and more populated by locals. We did head over there, but were largely bored, as we reconfirmed our usual disinterest with beach culture. Folly had little to offer us, although we did take a pleasant walk down a whitely sanded beach.
Charlotte is currently ranking #2 on our favorite-cities-of-the-trip-list. Boston is still #1.
Our car is a bit more comfortable now, with the loft we built, although with the 18 or so inches of living space, combined with the thick curtains - it gets mighty toasty in there. On the whole though, not too bad!!
We are enjoying our roadtripping immensely, although we are pretty excited to get back to Salt Lake and start business planning.
