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

Still in love... with plaid!

Elena accidentally got on the wrong ferry

We finally made it onto the right ferry - free and fast (round trip lasted all of 10 minutes!)

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
