Charleston, South Carolina

This is another wealthy city of southeast. Many ways as beautiful as Savannah with their beautiful Victorian houses and nice gardens. I here too, lived in an old villa $120+tax a night. Also long walks every day and no taxis. It was very hot and humid, 90 degrees, must be around 36 in centigrades. During afternoons I enjoyed great food, mostly steaks and cold beer and tennis from France. I also saw in TV the three last matches, when Ducks with Teemu Selänne did win the Stanley Cup. But as always when you get familiar to the place and start to like it, you are leaving.

My last evening I first spent in Charleston Music Hall listening the great melodies and evergreens of Johnny Mercer, a native of Savannah. All songs I love from him were there, like Skylark, The Days Of Wine And Roses, Fools Rush In, Moon River,
Jeepers Creepers, Blues In The Night, Come Rain Or Come Shine and Dream. I especially loved the singing of young and beautiful Tiffany Parker, who later kissed me, when I told this to her. After this I continued like many of the audience to the bar next door. There I soon met Jenny Morrison 26, who was adopted from Mexico as a baby, This young beauty gave me a lot of compliments and wished I would have stayed in Charleston much longer, when she realised that I will be leaving next morning.
