FL 3-24-15

Sunday past we left Flordia and began our slow trek north. Our first stop over is Savannah GA. We made it to our destination, Richmond Hills KOA. This is a fairly nice CG with the exception of the sandy sites. Here comes the mess inside our motorhome.

By the time we were settled in and hooked up, the rain began and continued through Monday. So we didn't venture out until today. Our plan was to get into the historic district and take a trolley tour. Mission accomplished!

Although the seats on the trolley were designed for those who have successfully completed a 5 year session of "Weight Watchers", we squeezed in and enjoyed the tour. Our Conductor was very knowledgeable of Savannah's history from its founding until Tom hanks was in town to film Forest Gump. We passed by many interesting buildings and at least 10 of Savannah's 24 squares.

Eye candy was abundant. Beautiful Gothic style churches, Victorian homes, giant oak trees surrounded by azaleas in full bloom, and horse drawn carriages. The ride down River street brought back 15 year old memories for Ruth and I.

One of our stops was the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist. It's facade was striking and the interior was marvelous. Photos just will not do it justice.

When we returned to our CG to rescue Oscar from his afternoon in Gracie, we walked over to the rather large pond to watch the Swans, Geese, and a few ducks. Their was at least 20 Swans. Some paddling about, a few on shore, and a couple feeding at the grain buckets left out for them. It was easy to get some awesome pictures.
