Jambalaya
We love Charleston. We like Savannah, too, and Savannah is easier to get to because of its proximity to I-95, but Charleston is worth the extra effort. I have written before on all the things we like about Charleston, so I will just describe our day there.
Our main goal was the fried green tomatoes at Tommy Condon’s and we got those as an appetizer. They never disappoint. I followed that with a jambalaya that just about burned my lips off – very, very spicy. Probably too spicy, but I had a pint of Kilkenny Ale to soothe my palate. I finished it and, contrary to Jett’s prediction, did not have to swallow any Tums before bed.
We visited the Charleston City Market before dinner and purchased several gifts there. Jett also got a new everyday pendant – a sailor’s compass – and I got the best Arnold Palmer (tea/lemonade mix) ever. Tangy yet sweet. Perfect. I also got a chocolate bar with bits of bacon and potato chips which I had for dessert. Also delicious.
We wandered the streets for a bit before heading back to the RV. No matter how many times I walk around Charleston I always find some striking new views to snap. I include a few here.
Love this city!
