Traversing Charleston

 We went to see authors Knotts and Ragusa as they wrote one of the books we read for the class. They were very enlightening on South Carolina's importance in gauging how people vote in both parties. Following our conversation the class walked around the Charleston area and went shopping! 

 Here's a cute local boba place we stopped at. I had taro milk tea with tapioca pearls it was SO good. 




Later that day, we went to Nikki Haley's Rally held over by Fort Sumter. The naval ship, USS Yorktown, was MASSIVE and honestly served as an inspiring background relating to Haley's platform points on veterans and mental health services. Following the rally, we ate at this local seafood restaurant. Sasha and I shared a shrimp and crabcake platter and it was amazing.

 If it could not be inferred by the title the class went to the Governor's Mansion it was stunning. We met Mack the governor's bulldog he was a cutie.  We were told about the history of the estate and the intricacy that went into the furniture and decor details. We looked into the history of South Carolina as a whole and its' historical figures. The garden area was colorful especially for it being winter here.  Here's a car selfie with Steven on the drive there!

 Today the class went to Lizard's Thicket, a local spot known for being a prominent campaign spot, and had breakfast while watching a newscast with Ainsley Earhardt. Shortly, we went to the market being held in front of the capitol building and got to see all the local businesses displaying their products and even tried some food and drinks. Seeing a city come together and uplift local businesses and promote community engagement was heartwarming and I had a great time walking around.  Sasha DEVOURING some BBQ chicken! We also got to visit the University of South Carolina and walk around the campus. The buildings and layout was gorgeous and felt very welcoming. I enjoyed seeing people on the green having picnics or reading books. I am sad this trip is coming to an end as I have made so many great memories and built new friendships as well.
