Just visited downtown Charleston, SC this week (we live in Davidson, NC) and loved the historical feeling of it’s old town (they say it’s 400 years old) although most buildings were more like 200ish and it reminded me a lot of Philadelphia architecture, where we lived for 5 years—-but no historical place in the states compares to where we lived in Southern Italy. There the ruins show homes, businesses and community areas from 2000 years ago. And every spot has had something happen on it century after century, posing interesting questions when it’s time to build anything, especially the subway in Naples!!! 😳😜🤪
P.S. You just made me recall visiting Toledo in 1987! Thanks for that!
I traveled on mostly my own for 3 months in Europe, but your experiences of living there and talkng with friends who have been living there gives a whole different perspective. You are giving me so much to think about. Thank you.
