Downtown Charleston Observations

On February 28, 2019, our class decided to walk downtown Charleston towards the highway on bull st., and bridges which I believe was south of College of Charleston's campus. I remember this day being extremely hot for winter time with a high of 65 degrees Fahrenheit, and a low of 45 F. There was a 54% cloud coverage, and there was 11 hours and 27 minutes of daylight this day. The humidity only made it to 3% this day, making for a beautiful, sunny and warm day. There was a 10.4 mph wind speed, yet it did not feel chilly. We first began our trip by walking through the cistern of the college and we were told a story about a type of pine tree that is located near the clock and the science center. The students at the college saved the beautiful, tall tree from being cut down and it still remains here many years later. Next, we strolled down sidewalks and observed different types of trees such as maples, palms, and magnolias. One of the most unique observations I remember was coming across vibrant "Yellow Jessamine" that was vines all across a fence. We observed many magnolias on the way to the end of bull street which included a "Saucer Magnolia" and a "Southern Magnolia". These are unique and make lovely features in the homes we came across. Along side of the road, our professor found a "Green Anole" and showed us how you can pull down on its chest. It was really awesome to see all the detail up close. We reached our destination when we arrives at a little doc near the highways where we were showed where clams were and how they were used in modern construction today. There were little boxes where clams were gathered. I really enjoyed this trip because I was able to observe the things that were most close to me.
