Savannah

Well here I am in Savannah and the high today is 75. I fell in love with this city last year when we first came here. I love the feel of the city and especially the historic district. Savannah is a unique blend of old and modern, which seems to suit me just fine. The B&B we stay at is a quick walk to Forsyth park, where you can sit and watch the fountain and the people in Savannah. You tell a lot about a place by it's people. They are always so warm and friendly which gives this city an extra dimension of complexity. Savannah society is still ruled by the gentile manners of the south. Society that I think of as an iron fist in a velvet glove. While the modern world rushes towards change, Savannah hears it's own drummer and dances toward change at it's own pace.

I love to take pictures in this town. From the old graveyards to the river walk and the old matrons of the historic district, they all make Savannah what it is. The squares that the neighborhoods are built around are hubs of activity, from children in school uniforms to the old men playing chess at an old card table, they seem to be the heartbeat of daily life.

I often think that Dan would flourish down here as writer, Savannah seems to embrace it's artist and writers in special regard. There is so much here to let the imagination take flight. I can see Dan spending his time in our favorite tea room writing and maybe even working on his masters. For me, I don't know what I would do, with my degree I could certainly work in a museum or teach.

Only time will tell and everyday is another day in my journey. Sometimes I think I know where I am going and some days my GPS takes off on a side journey. But no matter what, it makes my life interesting.

So for the next four days, I will be writing about Savannah and what I find.......
