Dear Readers, we spent three days in Savannah, Georgia, where the weather was perfect, and the people were friendly. We started out by staying at the Biltmore RV Park. Lots of trees and, as is typical in Georgia, sandy soil. We only stayed a couple of days here, so we took our dogs to the local park first. Along the way, a man offered me a “flower” in exchange for a “tip” from Jay. He told him, “What a lucky man. Two beautiful dogs and a beautiful lady.” Of course, I was flattered:
These were the dogs he was referring to with Jay:
This park has historic significance and has statues. This one is of Lafayette McLaws, a Confederate General:
This was the center statue, with the saying, “Come from the four winds to breathe and breathe upon these slain that they may live.” It was fenced off, so I couldn’t get close enough to find out who the main statue was:

On the next side was Francis S. Bartow, Colonel 8th, RECT, Georgia Volunteers, Confederate Army:
“To those Georgians who volunteered and served their country in the Spanish-American War” was the plaque on this statue:
The trees in Georgia all have what they call Spanish Moss hanging off them, though it is called that not because it actually is Spanish Moss, but because it reminded the colonists of the Spanish Conquistador’s long beards that were salt and pepper colored:
Another tree:

Dear Readers, the architecture in Georgia is gorgeous. These were just a few houses around Forsythe Park:
The windows on the top of this one were interesting. And look at that veranda!
This was my favorite of all the houses I saw there. Look at these windows and that double veranda, up and down. Stunning:
If you’ve read my blog and looked at pictures, you may have determined I love the color pink. Yes, I do, and this little townhouse was the “Bomb” in my opinion:
We crammed a lot into a short time, but to keep these posts from being too long, I’ll finish the next two locations in other posts.
