A random dog walking down a random street,
apparently totally oblivious of the photo shoot going on |
Downtown Savannah as we took a self-guided walking
tour among its many historic "squares." (See anyone familiar in this
picture?) |

This
gentleman (we didn't get his name), allowed us to sample most of the ciders
in the next picture at a local shop called
Margoth, Pleasantries of Savannah |
We liked all that we tasted except the Bing Black
Cherry Cider (on the end). |

This is the church where Sherman read the
Emancipation Proclamation and promised the newly freed slaves "40 acres and
a mule." Almost a century later, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his
famous "I have a dream" speech which he later gave in Washington D.C.

Savannah's "Waving Girl" - this is a
statue of Florence Martus who welcomed every ship into the harbor from 1887,
when she was 19 years old, until her death in 1943 |

We finally made it onto the right ferry -

A sign of the times? |
An African American Monument that reads: "We were
stolen, sold and bought together from the African continent. We got on
the slave ships together. We lay back to belly in the holds of the
slave ships in each other's excrement and urine together, sometimes died
together, and our lifeless bodies thrown overboard together. Today, we
are standing up together, with faith and even some joy." ~Maya Angelou |

I can understand fish and shrimp
appearing quite happy to be eaten, but a hamburger? Now that's just
crazy! |
If you look closely enough, you can see
the subtle, subliminal messages in these signs |
