... was pretty cool too. It takes up about 4 blocks and has pretty much anything you would want to buy, most of which is handmade. After spending a couple of hours walking the street we decided to try and find our South Carolina Brewery, googled one up the iphone and got the directions. However the trusty iphone was not so trusty today :) It's gave us the direction to the actually brewery in the industrial ...

Wandering Woman and I took a trolley car tour of Savannah today. It is the only Southern city that was not burned by Sherman and has substantial antebellum architecture, unlike other Southern cities.<br><br>The Historic District is filled with live oaks and Spanish moss, and old buildings. One thing I learned on the tour was that the term "fair to middlin'" originated from cotton graders. Fair was OK, middlin' was good.<br><br>Pics tell the story.

... Savannah, most famously Forrest Gump.<br><br>After the tour we went back to the Inn and were shown round by Ed. The building was a huge Victorian townhouse full of art and antiques, which, according to Ed, out-priced the house twice over! He also told us about the cheese and wine hour at 5pm every day and the serving of desert in the lounge later on in the evening!

Savannah is really a great place to visit. If you go make sure to take the trolley tours, it's well worth the money. It's nice to sit back, not worry about the traffic and listen to your guide as he narrates the tour. You are free to get on and off as you wish, because there are many areas where you will like to spend some time.

... which were just finishing up with the practice. I offered my help in whatever they needed and got recruited to carry the guests' gifts down to the courtyard. The gift was a bag of goodies and snacks for anyone who was joining Steve and Katie at the cookout. Let me tell you, the gift bag was a big hit with Mike and I because we indulged ourselves throughout the weekend whenever we had an urge for a late night snack, morning ...
