| Korean War Memorial |
The Memorials show a clear difference in the way you see the armed forces between Sweden and the US. Also like the Korean War Memorial as it had the same type of statue as in Washington DC. One that I liked.
Spending the day roaming around and chilling out we ended the day with going to a baseball game.

A fun and unique experience which is definently something to see while in the US.
The 31st started out with checking out the South Carolina State House and then went over to my host family. We spent some time chilling at the pool and then had some dinner with the host family. We also handed over some Swedish gifts. A book about the Swedish landscapes, a tray in blue and yellow saying "Fika".
The 1st of August and we get in the car to go down to Charleston. We went straight to the McLeod Plantation. An old plantation where people lived until 1990s. Not as slaves the latter years of course.
A great historic site with a dark history showing the racial differneces we can see all the way into our time. Even here on the plantation where both the mansion and the old slave houses had people living here until the 1990s. The people living in the old slave houses were free but very poor.
From the plantation to an awsome lunch at YoBo Cantina Fresca. A place I definently recommend to go if in Charleston!
From lunch to some more history this time we went to Fort Moultire. An old fort built during the revolutionary war lasting until after the second world war. And now for some pictures:
My sister hates this so she found a nice little beach nearby so after having went through the Fort me and my sister took a swim in the ocean. We then went to the hotel and checked in and then went down to the beautiful French Quarters. Especially the beautiful Rainbow Row. Stand by for Part 3 will try to not be as late for that post!
Cya laters alligators!
