My first sight in Charleston . . .
I thoroughly enjoyed the carriage ride around the city with our guide Trey and our four legged guide, Ron.
A few images from around town.

Now I am going to climb on to my soapbox!!! The Amish have the reputation of being a "kind and gentle" people, but if you would ever do an internet search, you will find they are notorious for horrible puppy mills and the mistreatment of their farm animals. The draft horses used by the carriage company (the company we used - not sure about other companies) are bought at Amish auctions in both Ohio and Pennsylvania. When they get to Charleston and begin to pull the carriages, there are strict rules that the stable owners must follow. I'm sure the horses think they have won the draft horse lottery! I hope you can enlarge and read this.
My computer is not playing nice today. This post has taken far too long, so I will finish up our Charleston adventures in the next one.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊
