Begging your pardon

Where we are staying is called a villa, not a room.  I guess that comes from not staying enough at the fancy spots, ie, vacation resorts.

Slept in this morning, then drove the 30 miles to Savannah.  Savannah has a mystic that few other cities have.  We decided a tour bus would be the best way to see the old city.  It is laid out like no other city.  Old town is mostly in squares interspersed with some 24 parks; lots of statues in those parks.  Huge old churches (most denominations) front on the parks.  Large old homes amid the commercial buildings.  The Savannah River is at one end of the city.  Our tour guide talked for 90 minutes as we went around and around circling the parks, up and down the streets.  We took pictures until the battery ran out in our camera.  We got off the bus to have lunch in an area called the City Market.  We have pictures of each of us with Marilyn Monroe or Elvis.

One of the homes we saw on our tour was the house where the movie, "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" was made.  It was taken from the book of the same name.  The book was based on a real story about the society (both high and low) of Savannah - a true crime story.  It is said the Savannah-ites can recognize the characters, even though names are changed.  The movie just happened to be showing at our resort this evening.  A fair amount of really bad language, social misfits, and a fair amount of voodoo.  We can't recommend it, but we had to finish it to see how the trial came out.

I think I didn't fully cover yesterday.  We went to the beach.  It was hot and humid, but the breeze kept it fairly comfortable.  The water is shallow and warm.  The three ladies swam - I waded a bit and kept pretty well our of the sun.  I had my Bronco hat on - everyone knows about BSU.  I visited with some Clemson fans - one of whom had been to Boise when the Tigers played Louisiana Tech in the Humanitarian Bowl.  Another man told me he would root for Boise when they play the Georgia Bulldogs in Sept, even though his son went to Georgia.

Letty and I walked the grounds.  There was a beautiful sunset to watch.  Our resort is facing the marshes and creeks.  They have dolphins that hang around the area.  If we don't see some from the resort, we may take a sightseeing dolphin watch boat before we leave.  Fog has moved in this evening.  it will be interesting to see how thick it will be by morning.  We did have a light rain, with cooler weather for a few minutes in Savannah.

Tomorrow will be a down day - swim pool - maybe a work out - walk down the resort area.  Will post again soon.  Stay warm!
