We both felt quite a bit better today, especially Roy. We paddled ashore and took the shuttle bus to the Visitor Center. It's the biggest and fanciest visitor center we've seen yet. Found out we could get passes to ride all three shuttle buses as much as we wanted all day for $1 each, so we got them. Two of the buses kept going around and around the "historic" (tourist-trap) area, but the third took us to a poor residential area. Charleston struck me as an old, dying city, struggling to revivify itself. Undoubtedly, there are some nice, new, modern sections, but we didn't see them, although we did visit an attractive waterfront park with big fountains that kids were playing in.
We finally found the Piggly Wiggly and bought a few groceries. Thunder began grumbling, and lightning streaked the sky. We thought surely we'd get drenched before we got back to the boat, but surprisingly, it didn't rain at all.
