I had the opportunity to perform for an outdoor market in Charleston, SC, and I decided I would do some sight seeing as well! The first night I stopped in the state capital, Columbia. A very fresh and friendly town with an upbeat vibe. Plenty of great eats at Five Points. My hotel was at the University of South Carolina and within walking distance to most of the historical area. I took some pictures of the State Capital Building while there.
I stayed at the Inn at USC. . The perfect Central Location
The John Calhoun Building
The Wade Hampton Monument by Sunset

On Friday morning... I headed down 1-26 to Charleston .

Columbia has an area of town called "Five Points". A very lively place with lots of good restaurants and atmosphere. I stopped by the Southern Belly BBQ for a great BBQ sandwich with coleslaw (the way we Virginians like it!). I noticed they had an old upright piano in the corner. I should have asked if I could play it. Being a Thursday evening, there was no one really in the place, but me. I really enjoyed walking around the area. Columbia gives a feeling of joy and happiness all around. There were lots of beautiful churches as well. Palmetto trees line just about every street corner. I plan to return and perhaps do a show there as well. It was my first time ever visiting. I noticed that Columbia is much more laid back than Charleston.
