A Perfect Charleston Sunday
April 06, 2010
It is springtime in Charleston. As such, it is so important to take advantage of the few, perfect, sunny, relatively-humidity-free days we are afforded before the sweaty fist of oppression settles in for the summer.
This past Sunday was such a day. After the early Easter service at the religious establishment of your choosing, the significant one and I came home, changed into our Garanimals, loaded up the lawn chairs and set off for Downtown Charleston.
We parked at the Cumberland garage and went to brunch at one of our favorite spots…the little bistro adjacent to the old motor court on Meeting Street. What makes this place a favorite? Well, it’s accessible, not too fussy and not too expensive. And, if you get a good table, you have a prime spot to watch the comings and goings – local and tourist, human and equine.

This Sunday was a particularly good day for people-watching as a throng of well-dressed Caucasians – including the tres Charleston seersucker-and-bow tie crowd - streamed out of the Easter service at the Circular Church.
Afterwards, with bellies full of omelets, home fries and strawberry jelly packets, we headed down to the Battery. We found some shade, spread out the blanket, set up the shorty lawn chairs and settled in for a long afternoon of vegetation.
And…that’s pretty much the full report. The only significant occurrence of the afternoon was our first sunburns of the new decade. Otherwise, it was blue skies, harbor breezes and tourists snapping their children’s pictures by the cannonball pyramids. In short, a perfect Charleston Sunday.
