Cecile sister Sherry treated us to a comfortable one hour carriage ride tour with 14 other people exploring downtown Charleston with a friendly, engaging top-tear Palmetto Guild certified guide named Josh from Honduras of the Old South Carriage Company. The beautiful Belgian horse’s name was Cypress.
After the Carriage tour we went to “The Porchetta Shop da Toscano” for a late take-out lunch and ate it at Sherry’s home. The eatery is an homage to the sandwich stalls and carts found on the streets of Tuscany. I had Mozzarella da Buffalo with Prosciutto, tomato and basil and Cecile and Sherry shared an Eggplant Scapace: Marinated eggplant, arugula, dried tomatoes, whipped ricotta on house-made focaccia with some side dishes (Marinated Farro Salad and Marinated Chickpeas. I also had a Cannoli.
We ended the evening on a funny note. Our fun-loving nephew Brian (Sherry’s son) treated us to an 8pm improv Comedy Show at Theatre 99 & Drinks.
