Charleston, South Carolina

Charleston has been the scene of numerous and varied historic "firsts."
The first decisive American victory during the Revolution occurred at the
Battle of Fort Sullivan. The first regularly scheduled passenger train service
in America was established here in 1830. The initial shots of the Civil War
were fired on Union troops stationed at Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor.
And the first golf course (Harleston Green) and golf club (The South Carolina
Golf Club) in America were established in 1786. History is literally found
around every corner, providing a focal point for a visit to this intriguing city.

Charleston is equally acclaimed for its contributions to the arts and humanities,
and is often viewed as a "living museum." Its singular appeal has been recognized
by readers of CondÈ Nast Traveler, who have named the city a "Top Ten" domestic
destination for nine consecutive years, and by Marjabelle Young Stewart,
who named Charleston the "most mannerly" city in America.

Love is like a violin.
The music may stop now and then,
but the strings remain forever.

There's nothing to writing.
All you do is sit down at a typewriter

Feeling gratitude and not expressing it
is like wrapping a present

This sculpture near the British Houses of Parliament is a copy of the original masterpiece, which is in the Musée Rodin in Paris.
And of course, there is also a copy in Calais itself.
