There is a lot that can be learned from a good book, we all know. But what if it is fiction? Our trip to the Battery on Tuesday was for Sarah, Sabrina and their friends who read the Percy Jackson series. In one of the books Percy and his friends end up in Charleston. They spend time at the Battery, Fort Sumter and the Hunley, a civil war sub. So we were in search of a certain gazebo in Battery park. Sarah just had to have a picture. And here it is.

"
The Battery is a landmark defensive seawall and promenade in Charleston, South Carolina
, famous for its stately antebellum homes Named for a civil-war coastal defense artillary battery
at the site, it stretches along the lower shores of the Charleston peninsula, bordered by the Ashley
and Cooper Rivers, which meet here to form Charleston harbor."
Anyone who has watched Gone with the Wind will love the homes along this stretch of seawall. From the seawall you can look out and see Fort Sumter and Moultrie. The garden has lots of memorials and trails.
