First stop, A quick shot down the coast, through the true rural south passing rundown homes and a seemingly equal amount of rundown churches, to Edisto Beach to stay with Jazzman, one of my dear, good friends. He manages and tends bar at Grover's (the best restaraunt and bar on the beach) located on the Plantation Golf Course (one of my favorite that I've played in S.C.). Jazzman's popularity in this town pretty much allows him to do anything he wants. So he ...

... Pirate House. Which is a tavern where real pirates used to drink at. Now it is a restaurant, but it is in the same exact building. I'm not even kidding when I say he was super excited, HIs eyes lit up like a fat kid's in a candy store! :) Since we got to Savannah so late the rest of the exploring will have to wait until the morning...<br><br>So on that note it's off to bed for us...<br><br>Jess &amp; Nic<br>

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.

... we picked a bus with the most annoying guide ever and the ride was painfully slow. Despite this we were beginning to realise what a beautiful place Savannah was. The historic centre is made up of a number of beautiful squares, which are full of lovely oak trees with Spanish moss hanging down from the branches. The houses surrounding the squares are stunning and date from the 18th and 19th centuries. We also discovered that a number of films had been filmed ...

... He and his wife Mary reside in their own 1880's haunted lighthouse known as Bloody Point Lighthouse, named for one of the Indian massacres that occurred in the island vicinity. Low Country Joe by profession is a successful realtor but to meet him and exp**ience his aura, one quickly realizes he more resembles the look and conv**sational stylings akin to a spiritual guru than does he businessman.

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.

... play nine holes with Steve's father (Ken's father-in-law) and allowed Steve to play with Mike, Ross and I. The wager for the next nine holes was Skins format with Steve verses the three of us playing a scramble. I let Steve know I shot a 46 but he did not care. Steve realized that he bit more than he can chew when I smashed the second shot with a 3 wood within 20 yards of the #10 green, which we eventually won the hole. The #10 hole ...

... room and Oreo just kept barking at the door. I don't even want to know what she saw or smelled under there, but she wanted out! When we were all done getting ready for bed we decided to try to fall asleep. It was hard since it was only 9:30 and the beds were small, but we made the most of it. Mom, dad and Oreo slept in one bed while Mike and I slept in the other one. The beds were horrible and the room was gross. To ...
