Sunday in Charleston

We never tire on wandering the streets of Charleston and taking in the sights and sounds of the old city market, the shops and restaurants, and the other tourists (there are always lots of them!).

The architecture is marvelous. The walls ooze with history, and the locals have a dignity and a sense of place that is rarely found elsewhere in these days of homogenization and sameness.

Charles's friend John Kerr kindly invited us to attend a Concert Programme presented by the world famous Choir of Canterbury Cathedral at the Charleston Cathedral Church of St. Luke and Saint Paul. The concert was a musical treat, and the setting and the acoustics were perfect.

The choir is made up of men (lay clerks)and boys and sings at the Cathedral each day, when it is not touring. The boys live in the Cathedral Choir House and attend St. Edmund's School. They practice twice each day, and each chorister learns to play at least two instruments.
