Things that stupid people do

Today we took a horse drawn tour with Palmetto Carriage around Charleston and learned a lot about the huge heritage homes here, and about Charleston's rather troubled and turbulent past.
Afterwards we walked over to the South Carolina Aquarium.  The highlights (for me, anyways) had to have been the Lionfish, and an albino alligator.  Seriously!  They had to rescue it and keep it in captivity because it wouldn't have been able to hunt (no camouflage) and wouldn't have been able to handle being in the sun.  They also had a Madagascar exhibit with lemurs, and a tank with small rays and hammerhead sharks that we were allowed to touch (but I didn't).
Then we started to walk over the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge with the thought of going to Mount Pleasant, but we weren't entirely sure how far it would be and a couple of nice ladies that we asked (have I mentioned how freakishly nice everyone in Charleston is?) cocked their heads funnily and we realized that we had perhaps bitten off more than we could chew, so we turned around mid span on the bridge (which was still over a mile).
Yeah ,but our epic travels across Charleston paled in comparison to what we saw when we were on the bridge.  We were coming up to mid-span and this bridge was at least eight lanes with vehicles going 80 - 100k, and we saw a guy walking in the opposite direction towards us.  A silver Dodge Magnum passes us and then heads toward the lone pedestrian and passes him.  The pedestrian stares at it, and then raises his hands incredulously, as though to say "WTF?.  So what does the Magnum do?  It slows down a bit - hesitant - and then comes to a COMPLETE STOP on a major bridge with cars screaming along it at very fast speeds.  But oh: they put their emergency flashers on.  Michael and I watched in horror as cars started to realize that there was a car at a dead stop in their lane that they were rapidly approaching.  We watched two near accidents that this idiot caused, while the pedestrian ran up the bridge to the car and then HOPPED THE CEMENT DIVIDER to jump into the car.
But it still gets better.  Instead of realizing that they were endangering both themselves and everyone else driving on the bridge, the pedestrian climbs back out of the back seat of the car and a woman climbs out of the passenger seat and they change seats.  Like, really?  Not happy with the seating arrangement?  It was one of the craziest vehicular things I've ever seen.
Hungry, we stumbled across Charleston Beer Works where the ambiance was a little lacking, but the food and beer specials were excellent and - more importantly - cheap.  Plus we got to watch a bit of the Tour de California, which we were kind of surprised (and secretly pleased) with.
Tomorrow's our last day in Charleston before we head to Savannah.  Not entirely sure what we're going to get up to tomorrow, except more good eating, likely.
