Lee and Karen Duquette,
The Two RV Gypsies: Full-Time RVers
enjoyed the downtown waterfront in
Charleston, South Carolina
June 2, 2017

Lee Duquette parked the car at the Charleston Welcome Center which on this date cost $1 for each half hour, but the first half hour was free. (prices quoted on this website are always subject to change as time passes). Then they got on the free shuttle bus to go to the downtown waterfront area, a nautical theme area with a pier, cafe, gift shop, scenic harbor views, and water fountains for kids to play in.

Below: The only reason Karen Duquette did not get wet in the water fountain like she often does, was because the two RV Gypsies had to return to their car via the shuttle bus and Karen could not get on the shuttle bus in wet clothing.

Below: Lee and Karen Duquette took a stroll on the 1,250-foot long pier and relaxed a while on a bench swing and enjoyed the view. Lee Duquette spotted a restaurant across the way and decided they should go have a small lunch there. (So they walked to the Fleet Landing Restaurant and Bar. Those photos can be reached from the South Carolina menu link at the bottom of this page.)

After eating, Lee and Karen Duquette returned to the downtown waterfront and walked the area. Karen really liked the "pineapple" water fountain, which had lots of children playing in it. Karen cropped the kids out of the photo because she did not want to post photos of all those children that she did not know. Karen does not like having to adjust photos for this website, but sometimes it just has to be done.

Below: Then Lee and Karen Duquette got on the shuttle bus and returned to their car at the visitor center in downtown Charleston. But as they exited the shuttle bus, Lee Duquette noticed a nearby art fair and a big statue, so they decided to take a look.

At the Chicken Thing truck, an artist had paintings on display for sale of the Chicken Thing. Karen Duquette did not think it proper to photograph the paintings that were for sale, but she did take a picture of the Chicken Thing explanation.

Then Lee Duquette drove their car to Charleston Harbor Marina at 24 Patriots Point Road, Mount Pleasant, South Carolina.
