This city is stunning.
We leave Florida today to meet our niece and her husband in Savannah. Without exception, everyone we have talked to about Savannah has given the city rave reviews. There really is no end to beautiful, historic, charming, quirky and just plain interesting things to experience. I plan to see huge crystals and regular sized ghosts. Maybe a day at the beach with a fresh seafood lunch. (For those of you who don't know, facing my fear of seafood is difficult, thank you tartar sauce, lemon and tabasco.) We have a week in an AirBnB in the city and it will be nice to stay in one place for more than a day or two. Not to mention that John and I will have two other people to talk to!

This trip has been so good. We have tried a few new things: redfish, catfish, grits and fried apples to name a few. Apparently, the best crawfish is served in Savannah so I may add them to my list.

I would like to wish the world a nice day, special wishes for peace everywhere.
