More gorgeous houses in Savannah

Days (lost track)  - Back in Savannah

We loved our NY-Boston trip, but by the time we got back to Savannah (another 24 hour trip but this time on the comfortable Amtrak), we were exhausted!  We were both very happy just to spend the time in Savannah, resting up, ready for the next coach tour. 

During that six days or so, we hardly left the house.  I had developed a heavy cold and just felt like resting up.  As for Roger, he needs no encouragement at all to just rest up big time.

This period gave us another great opportunity to really cement those two dear little children well and truly into our hearts.  How sad we were to finally leave them. It is extra poignant as they will be our last littlies and next time we see them they will not be babies any more.  Thomas told his mummy that the best thing about having Mimmy here was the stories and the best thing about having Pa here was learning Soduko.

This extra week in Savannah wasn’t great timing as far as Robyn and Damien are concerned because they were both studying hard for exams: Damien a university entrance exam that will determine at which university he will be able to study his MBA, and Robyn an exam to prove that she is capable of teaching in the state of Georgia.  Both of them are sitting them this weekend: Damien on Saturday and Robyn on Sunday. 

In terms of photography, I concentrated my efforts this time on houses close to where Robyn and Damien live and also Savannah’s ‘historical district’, an area of mostly weatherboard homes from the early 1900s.  Many of them are painted with quite bold colours.  For some, this has been done very tastefully – not so for others.  The following is a sample of some of the better ones.

  

I did say that some are not so tasteful!

This rather overdone house is quite famous.  It is called the 'Gingerbread House'.

   

Finally, Robyn and Damien's house.  it's not in the historic district but is quite a lovely house.
