Walking tour
I shook-off my hangover and got down to the Daughters of the Confederacy Museum (a.k.a. Market Hall) at 11:00 a.m. for a historical walking tour of Charleston. This was one of the tours Kevin, the consierge, had set me up on yesterday.
I met up with the group and tour guide Tommy Dew and we hit the streets of Charleston. Tommy's two-hour tour was an enlightening look at a variety of architecture, historical sites, centuries-old churches and haunted buildings. But most impressive of all was the business lesson he subtly provided. You see, if you multiply the $18 tour cost with the twenty heads on the tour (plus a few tips), that's about $400 per tour. And Tommy gives these tours at least five times a week. That's $100,000 a year for working two hours a day.
I need a job like his.
