Down the Garden Path

Pirates Courtyard, Charleston, S.C.

I've passed this alleyway on Church St. time after time but always assumed it was private property and never actually entered through the gate. Apparently there is a courtyard at the back of what is called the Pirate's House. This travel photography website has more information: History Trekker.

Holy cold toes, kids! It is chilly out there. It has been a lovely day but walking out this evening in the wind is wicked cold. I hope all of our budding blossoms make it through the night. I have my electric blanket heating up.

I went to the symphony tonight and was so pleased to find a packed house. We were all there to hear Yuriy Bekker play the million dollar Stradivarius violin and play it he did. What a great treat! More info in the Post & Courier story.

TORUŃ BY NIGHT: Ul. Bankowa

We have now turned left from Ul. Żeglarska into the narrow and perfectly picturesque Ul. Bankowa. The narrow road runs along the old city wall (which you can see on the left).

In the distance (behind the parked car), you can just make out the steps leading up to the famous Krzywa Wieża (leaning tower of Toruń). You can see a photo of the same location here at: http://torundailyphoto.blogspot.com/2007/04/alley-walk.html

The night tour continues...
