Savannah, GA

On Saturday, 6/19, we left Florida and drove to Savannah, GA. to spend a couple of days there.  We crossed over a lot of rivers to get there.

 

Found our campground and settled in for the night.

We arranged to have a bus from "Old Town Tours" in Savannah to pick us up the next day (along with another couple who we later found out that they were from Winona, MN.  Small world!).

This is where our tour started.

And our tour bus.

One of their old cars.

The tour bus takes you around the city and you can get off and back on whenever you like.  The buses come about every 15 minutes.

This is a map they give you - very small but if you click on it, it should get larger.

This sign in case you need to know how far away you are from various cities.

Several pictures below are of the sites we saw.

To get down to the river's edge and the shops along there, you take a stone road down and another stone road up. 

Savannah is a beautiful town.  We have been here 3 times now and would like to go back again sometime.

On Monday, Judy had an appointment at Juliette Lows house(s).

The appointment (actually tour) was for 10 AM.  It was a beautiful day. 

We got there a few minutes early so Judy stood by the gate.  A lady came along and they got to talking.  She worked in the gift shop (or course there is one!).

The patio area between the two buildings is beautiful.

And a statue of Juliette Low.

With Judy.

While we were in the courtyard, a young lady came out and wanted to know if Judy was Judy Severance.  Apparently, the Tejas Council from Texas let them know Judy was coming and that she was celebrating her 70 year in Girl Scouts.

She had a special pin for Judy - Daughter of the House - to celebrate her many years in Girl Scouting.

We then went into the house and Judy sat in the room where Juliette Low had her first Girl Scout meeting.

We did get to the gift shop and Judy bought a nice back pack that she has been looking for.

It was worth staying over on Monday so that we could visit Juliette's house and Judy could be recognized for her many years of service.  It was very special and something we will always cherish.
