Hello everyone!

This month's post comes from lovely Charleston, South Carolina. Today is a walking tour of Charleston, tomorrow will be the bar crawl segment!

Charleston is one of my favorite cities. I first went there in 2004, and these pictures are from my latest trip on 4-5-6 July, 2013. All of these pictures are in the exact order I took them. This city is pretty awesome, and I could take hundreds of snapshots—but I'm limited to 40 for this post and these are 40 of my favorites from this latest trip.

If anyone ever gets a chance to go to Charleston! You won't be disappointed. Plenty of things to look at, lots of places to eat, and plenty of pubs/bars/taverns—you can't go wrong here. Just follow along and you’ll see!
