Savannah

To begin our journey home, we spent two days in Savannah, GA. What an amazing city! We took a trolley tour of the city and a boat ride on the Savannah River. It was a very busy day, but a beautiful one.

Spring was in full bloom as the azaleas above show. Savannah has a variety of parks or squares that are a sight to see. They are full of flowers, statues, and monuments.

This is the river boat we took for a ride on the river. It was relaxing, spacious, and an enjoyable ride.

We took a trolley tour, but this horse and wagon looks like an interesting way to go.

Here's Gary having some refreshment at an outdoor pub table.

One of the most interesting things we have discovered in the south is the live oak trees. They are huge and grow in every direction. They are hanging in Spanish moss, and are a sight to see.

On the riverfront in Savannah we found the replicas of Columbus's ships, the Nina and the Pinta. We had planned to see them in Florida, but we missed it because of stormy weather. We did not know they would be in Savannah, but they are coming to coastal Maine in June.

This is the location of the Paula Deen restaurant, but we did not go there.

Here is another of the Savannah squares.
Today we took up the travel again and covered all of North and South Carolina, and most of Virginia
as we are staying in Charlottesville tonight. Our trip has been enjoyable thus far. We have actually met quite a few people who are making the same trip as we are, and have enjoyed talking to them. We are still in short sleeves, but that may end tomorrow. It was 88 today in Virginia. We have heard rumors of another storm for Saturday, so we will try to avoid it!
