Exploring Charleston with Noreen 8 '11

Today my friend, Noreen Sneed, and I decided to explore  Charleston.
The original intent had been to visit all the antique and other interesting shops along King Street, have lunch, and continue on down Broad Street.  A record breaking heat wave forced some modifications .
We made it into all of the shops along King Street.  (The Audubon and Charleston Historical Society shops were places of particular interest to us.) But by the time we reached the corner of King and Broad the grueling  100+ degree heat had both of us feeling wilted. 
We cooled down with some nice southern iced tea to keep. Then kept to the many shaded courtyard alleys  to prevent further frying  of our poor feet.  It was a lovely visit, but next time we'll check the weather forecast before planning to hike Charleston  in the dog days of summer.
