Day 19 - Jan 27 - McLeod Planatation, Charleston, SC

  We decided to go into Charleston today, as we needed to stock up on healthy food, and Charleston has both a Trader Joe's and a Whole Foods, right near each other.  So, we went to the Unitarian Church, again first.  It's like the Sirius philosophy set in a typical church.  Strange.  But the sermon was non-religious, but very relevant.  

  Then we went over to the McLeod Plantation.  Before the civil war, it grew cotton, with 75 - 100 enslaved laborers, and only 5 whites living in the main house.  Extremely good tour guide, giving a vivid sense of the times.  The Living Oak trees were huge, with limbs spreading out and to the ground.  They were between 200 and 600 years old.

  Then we went shopping.  It's hard to shop, with a small refrigerator, freezer, and limited cupboard space.  Mostly, we needed drinking water, as I don't feel comfortable drinking the water from our tanks, or even the city water piped in through our hoses.
