The Deep South TourDaniel Anderson Well it's been quite a while since our last entry, things have been pretty busy but we haven't done any real major traveling. I thought I would use this entry to fill everyone one in on our most recent comings and goings and what we have been up to. It will mostly be to show some of the photos we have taken and I won't bore you with big long winded descriptions of our trip. I recently finished my first semester of Uni which actually went really well. I was quite surprised at the marks I received which were pretty good, but it just goes to show what you can achieve when you actually do some study rather than get on the turps with your Army mates all the time.

After leaving Orlando, we headed to Savannah GA because we had heard it was a neat, historic place to check out. We only had a couple days there because we had a hard time finding people on couchsurfing.com to stay with. Wes caught a cold of some sort in Orlando and was really starting to feel sick on our first full day in Savannah, so we rode our bikes into town and walked around a bit. Savannah looks a lot like New Orleans, with the huge trees lining the streets, covered in moss. We went down by the river into this sort of cheesy tourist area, wandered around downtown a little, went to the cemetery, and stopped in the park for a while. But at that point Wes was feeling pretty sick and had a ... read more

Savannah  North America » United States » Georgia » Savannah By _Gaby_April 8th 2007GabyEftersom det inte direkt var väder för att stanna pÃ¥ stranden, bestämde vi oss för att se Savannah ocksÃ¥ när vi ändÃ¥ var i farten. Här fanns ocksÃ¥ den berömda spanska mossan och fina hus. Överallt fanns ocksÃ¥ sk. Squares - mindre parker mitt i stan. Mycket charmigt - fÃ¥r förhoppningsvis bilder frÃ¥n Nilo snart & dÃ¥ fÃ¥r ni se mer. ... read more

Myself and Chris decided that a day trip to Savannah would be a great way to spend a beautiful Saturday. I don't recommend this after having done it. We had pleny of time to see everything, however with the driving and seeing everything.. it was just a bit too much that we asked of ourselves. We arrived into Savannah around 3:30 after our visit to Tybee Island (see other entry). Armed with a map, our first stop was in Forsyth square. This is the biggest square in the town and was full of locals (there is a college nearby) and visitors. There were fields with people playing frisbee, soccer, and other games. There were even tennis and basketball courts. Trees filled with Spanish Moss hung over the sidewalks and monuments honored men from the past. There ... read more

Since Hope and I have arrived in Savannah we’ve spent most of our free time finding our way around town. We’ve been staring at maps and making wrong turns to locate close by grocery stores, the nearest Sam’s Club, and of course Hope’s hospital. Most of our quest has been for a gym and we’ve finally found one that meets our standards, although it was no easy task as the facilities were either too small or too smelly. We’ve apparently become gym snobs. Our apartment is spacious compared to Tahoe. We actually have adequate closet and cabinet space. It’s located in “Georgetown,” which is on the south side of Savannah. Georgetown isn’t like the charming historical downtown. It’s full of suburban strip malls and apartment complexes. But it’s none the less safe and convenient to the ... read more
