Rattlesnakes on the ground, alligators in the water and fighter-jets in the sky! Jenny and I played a round of golf at the Crosswinds course on Easter Sunday.

That's rattlesnake territory behind me. And in the tree: it's more Spanish Moss.

Jenny and take another walk through Savannah. In the distance is Mercer House, which is prominent in the 1994 John Berendt novel 'Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil'.

Savannah, GA (Part 5)

On Saturday afternoon, just before Easter, Jenny and I visited the Half-Moon Brew-pub in down-town Savannah. We each ordered the sample paddle and the beers were pretty good.

We took a walk afterwards. Here is Jenny in front of a fountain in another of the beautiful garden squares.

Later, we ate crabs for dinner on the balcony of a restaurant down on Bay Street.

On Sunday, we played a round of golf at the Crosswinds course. We were warned to look out for alligators and rattlesnakes! I'll post a few photos from our game in the next post and conclude my series on the trip that Jen and I took to Savannah.

Fireworks erupted from Bay Street in Savannah on Easter Saturday evening. Jen took this photo from the window of our apartment across the adjacent square.

The next day, Sunday, we visited the Wormsloe Historic Site. The estate was one of the first permanent white settlements in Georgia.

Part of the property is bounded by swamp-land, which we walked by en route to a demonstration settlement.

Jen sings out from the little homestead.

Meanwhile I stand at attention for the Union Jack, unfortunately limp at that moment.

This grove was really beautiful and tranquil. The shade was very welcome as, even though only April, the weather in Savannah was decidedly warm!

From 2011-04-24

I want to post up some photographs from our round of golf amongst alligators, lunch at a brew-pub and some other pretty shots from around town. As such, visit again for parts 5 and 6 of Savannah, GA! (And thanks for being so patient!)
