I'm sorry I didn't realise you were touring down in my neck of the woods - we would have loved to have shown you around! Charleston is one of our treasures - it and Savannah are essentially sisters, and both of them have a lot of lovely things to see and do.
Yes, Gone With The Wind is a dish better read than watched, although the movie is beautiful to look at in terms of cinematography. Mitchell's book is a great read. Atlanta now is exactly as she described it then - a sprawling, pushy place full of noise and crowds and craziness, and the people that live there wouldn't live anywhere else.
Asheville is an odd bird of a southern town, but very artsy now, which it never was in my youth.
What a wonderful way to have a winter break! So adventurous. We are such homebodies at times.
