At the end of this afternoon we left Dulles airport for Charleston, where we are spending the weekend. Looking out of the window the cloudy sky was very dramatic.
In flight, over the clouds, a cool blue horizon and more cloud above.
We are staying outside Charleston, across the river. This evening we walked to a nearby restaurant for dinner.
The cuisine was very Southern - but first a Mint Julep (Bourbon, Mint, Sugar Syrup, Ice) in a frosted copper 'glass'.
The restaurant specialized in 'Grits' - chipped white corn cooked in milk, butter and - above in the 'grits flight' which we shared as a starter - Pimento cheese, peaches and cream, coconut and smoked Gouda. Rather filling.
Tomorrow we are looking forward to visiting the historic downtown areas of Charleston.
