Savannah

June 14-17, 2007

We spent the weekend in Savannah with our friends Brian and Sandy Allbee. It was great fun to spend some quality time with our friends and to also see a city I have always wanted to visit. Among other things, we took a city trolley tour, ate at Paula Dean's restaurant, took a tour of the Mercer House, went on an entertaining night time ghost tour, and walked around the lovely downtown and historic streets and squares. Right after the Savannah trip, Wren and I drove to SC for a beach vacation with my extended family and Jason rode back to Huntsville with the Allbees and took a plane back to Italy the next day.

The First African Baptist Church in Savannah is the oldest black congreation in North America. The church dates from 1777 and this building is from 1859.
