Savannah
Margaret & I drove up from Kissimmee to Savannah, to meet some MINI friends, and to look around the beautiful city! There’s a Gallery of pictures, or scroll down for a few highlights (and it was in the 70s there today!):
Savannah is laid out on a grid of roads, with “mini park” squares in many of the junctions (21 in total, apparently); lovely old trees in the squares - but Spanish Moss hangs from many:
Some interesting historical architecture:
A nice river front:
The beach at Tybee Island (I bet it’s busier in the summer!):
On the beach at Tybee Island
Near Savannah, with MINI friends … Not warm enough to swim in the Atlantic though.

The road to Savannah
We spent five hours today (300 miles) driving up through Florida and in to Georgia, to Savannah, where we are meeting some MINI friends.
While most of the drive was like this, we did have half an hour of stop-and-go due to road works …
