Charleston!

We arrived in Charleston on Sunday night to Sara's grandma's house, where her grandma prepared us a delicious meal of chicken and potatoes! Sophie, her dog wasn't so happy to see us at first, (I don't think she was expecting so many guests,) but she warmed up to us quickly. We went to bed early, and our appointment was scheduled for 4 pm the next day, so we had the entire morning and early afternoon to explore downtown Charleston.

We arrived in downtown at around noon, and walked around for a bit while David and Sam drove away to a Habitat Restore. It took us a little while to get familiar with the downtown area, even though Sara was just there a little over two years ago, but we soon found our way around. We walked down Meeting Street and crossed over Market Street until we reached King Street, and after a while of looking at the different stores, we settled into a Starbucks to get some documentary work done. We were there for almost three hours, walking around in between for breaks, but we got a ton of work done. Unfortunately, while we were at Starbucks, the man who we were supposed to interview at four called and rescheduled for the next day, so we didn't end up having an interview then. So Sam and David met up with us there later, and we all decided to go back to Sara's grandma's for dinner. It was a really hot and long day, but we fortunately completed a lot of work for our documentary, which we know will take many hours after we get back to Cleveland.
