Columbia, South Carolina

We had an extra day in South Carolina, so we did a bit of sight seeing, before coming home.



First stop: US Army Basic Combat Training Museum




Next, off to the South Carolina State House



The Confederate Flag still flies...

 

And Southern Pride still living...  
A statue of Calhoun (to the left), stands in the middle of the second floor of the State House.  In front of it, you can find a bust of General Robert E Lee (to the right).  







Inside, the State House is absolutely beautiful.






We got to sit in on a Senate meeting, and it was actually very interesting to say the least.  





Always wanted to take a picture like this on a staircase. :P


We took Taxis everywhere.  This is the part that made this trip expensive.


And the flight back home...
