photos from two lovely days in charleston with mom. long walks, coffeeshops, pastel houses, overzealous tour guides, a gospel concert, a bit of shopping, good eats, friendly people, a lot of old churches, southern gothic vibes, the city market, palm trees everywhere.

is this out of a postcard or what. |

no better view for a morning jog. |

to anyone heading to CHS soon:
food: we adored
the grocery- their crispy eggplant fried with moroccan spices on a bed of greens with spiced honey and feta was Literally the Best Thing Ever.
dell'z deli was completely different but also amazing. it's a hole-in-the-wall cult-favourite cafe with walls covered in handwritten graffiti and rasta decor, reggae music playing, and fantastic wraps and salads. we stopped in for lunch, and my "high on veggies" wrap with goddess dressing was utterly heavenly.
to do: i had never been to charleston before, so we made sure to check out a few tourist locations, including the historic edmonston alston house and the aiken-rhett house. we walked along the battery, explored the city market, went to a gospel concert, and toured renée stout's fascinating exhibit,
tales of the conjure woman, at college of charleston's halsey institute of contemporary art.
until next time,
xo
