Savannah --- Bonaventure and other places

I have an interesting hobby. I like to take pictures of graveyards. One of my favorites is Bonaventure. It is home to some of Savannah's famous people, however it is the not so famous people that have make it special. While I do have pictures of some of the famous graves, I think they all tell stories of lives that added to the city of Savannah.




One of the avenues in Bonaventure. The founder planted live oaks over 300 years ago. Today they are draped in Spanish moss. There is over 160 acres of history here. It is a nice peaceful place to walk and explore the history of Savannah.





After a busy day of exploring, Dan and I walked to the Gryphon tea room, which sits one of the squares. First of all, it was good to be able to walk the 7 blocks, which doesn't sound all that impressive, however last year there was no way I would have made it. The tearoom is a nice little place to get a cup of tea and some scones with clotted cream.

After coming back we headed to City Market and went to Molly McPherson's. It is a Scottish pub where I was very happy with a small meat pie and a scotch egg. A small dinner since where we are staying offers us afternoon tea and desserts and cordials everyday.

Today it looks like we are headed to Tybee island. It is cloudy today and only 63 degrees. I am not sure I want to sit on the beach today, maybe we will hit the small shops like the Savannah Bee company, a good bookstore and Gallerie Espresso for an afternoon cup of tea. I do want to explore the City Market some more and River street. I might even convince Dan to do a ghost tour
