Survivng a twister and safe in Charleston

We survived our first twister in North Carolina! The tornado ripped about 40 mobile homes (just like ours) and 8 people were killed. We only found out about it yesterday(-:

Anyway we are in South Carolina already, enjoying the beautiful beaches and sun. We saw hundreds of golf and mini-golf courses and thousands of super size gift shops.
We spent yesterday and today in Charleston, South Carolina. A charming historical city from 1670, telling the story of the Civil War and slavery. There are lots of old houses and historical landmarks along the streets, cute little shops, good food and surprisingly (or not)... many Israelis that live there. For dinner we had delicious sea food and sure enough, the owner of the place is an Israeli guy. They serve boiled peanuts and scallops in grits

As we went on eating, Aviv's tooth fell out (Adi suggests it's because of the tornado)
This morning we strolled around downtown. This is a civil-war submarine from 1860 that used by the southern forces fighting the north blockade. It was found in the ocean in 1995.
Some of the old houses


The old and vibrant covered market, where they sell hand weaved sweetgrass baskets
