We left Charleston about 9:00 and toured Magnolia Plantation. Very interesting with lots of swamps on this property. I took the tour of the plantation while Jonny sat outside talking to some guy. He then toured the gardens while I was inside (he didn't want to pay the $7.00) for the house tour. The house was burned during the Civil War, and then rebuilt.
After I got outside we toured the swamps and stopped and talked with a pastor and his wife. He had a camera with a lens 2 feet long. At first I thought it was some kind of gun.
Drove to Savannah, and the first thing we did was stop at a welcome center. The lady was real nice and was helping us find a hotel. The prices she quoted us was $89 - $119 per night. We decided to try one outside of town. Jonny took a wrong turn and who knows where we ended up but it wasn't Savannah. After about 20 minutes we turned off and had lunch at "Ronnies". Jonny talked to the waitress and found out some information about Savannah. She also told him about places to stay. We found a nice Microtel (have never stayed in one before) and it was only $54. Tomorrow it will be $44. It even has a McDonald's in front of the hotel.
We were going to go into Savannah again but there was a big thunderstorm that lasted about an hour, so we took a nap instead. Around 6;00 we ventured into Savannah, first we looked up where there was a church and went by it. It was about 20 miles away but it is a big one probably a stake center, and it is in a very nice area. Of course when we get lost we always end up in the ghetto, which we did today but no problems. Finally found downtown Savannah and it took us 45 minutes to find a parking place. I thought San Francisco was bad. It is Saturday night and it is extremely busy on the weekend (according to a girl that works in Paula Deen's restaurant). I hope to go there on Monday, if Jonny is not wanting to get on the road back home. I may have to do it by myself. I'd like to leave Savannah on Tuesday and head to Atlanta, but we shall see.
