Friday in Savannah, Georgia

And this is the first time using the IPAD, so that will be interesting for me.  Back to using two fingers.  Well, we spent a raining night, cool nit in Fort Mill, SC.  Russ decided to bring in the slides, just in case  it snowed.  The night before he had to squeegee off th top of the slide so it wouldn't thaw into the camper.  ever noticed the difference.  Just love sleeping in our camper's bed.  But then the phone call at 5:00 was a surprise.  Russ has set up several lights in the house that will come on if the heat drops below a prescribed temperature.  Well, one of them was on when a neighbor went by rather early in the morning.   I'm glad we are on the same time zone!  Fortunately Russ was able to call Jeff  Smith, our great neighbor across the street.  Jeff will take care of it.  Thank goodness for Jeff.  Another friend who makes it all possible for us to do our winter travels.  Thanks Jeff.
Listening to the weather channels this morning, we did not leave the park until 10:00.  Good move, it was bright and sunny out by then.  Breezed across SC and into Savannah by mid afternoon.  The park is a small park, along side a main road, but we haven't heard a train yet.  Tomorrow, we are going on a Trolley tour of Savannah.  They will even pick us up here at the park.  We will return around 4:30, and if all works out all right, we will have dinner with Brian Seaward, who will be in Savannah, heading out to see.  We are looking forward to that as Brian is much more familiar with Savannah than we are.
But we did venture out this afternoon by going to the beach.  Went out to Tybee Island, parked along a side street (paid for parking although no one was around); walked the boardwalk across the dunes, and walked down moths water.  We are so familiar to our beaches, but all others are so different.  Waves broke about 300 yards out from the shore.  Just thinking, just different.  Lots of houses, about four deep from the beach, and traveling the 'beach' road, there was no way you could see the beach.  Of course they were four lanes of traffic, so the place must really be hopping during the summer.
We did go by a RV park that we had considered staying at and decided that at this time of the year,where we are is almost perfect.  No WIFI and no cable.  Guess we will survive.
Almost forgot, we went to dinner at a local establishment, Johnny Harris.  It was recommended by one of the ladies in the office.  Russ had the barbecue plate with Brunswick stew.  I had tilapia, grilled shrimp, Carolina red rice, and fresh asparagus.  We both have doggie bags, which isn't a bad thing.
Having a wonderful time,especially since the weather is so much warmer.  love y'all!!!
