A few from the road going South. Very South.

Mom and I are making our way down to the Keys. First stop: Savannah. Second stop: St. Augustine.
Cheap motels, easy going, stop when the fancy strikes us. Living and looking and learning.

Here's Mom on steps going down to the famous Savannah river. Steps are her nemesis at age 88 and she is proud. She went down them, and then back up.



I love Savannah's wondrous rocky grounds at the river



So along the road we come across the smallest church in the whole USA. That's what they call themselves.





Spanish Moss - creates tunnels of beauty



Mom walking towards the front door of an old plantation (founded 1806)



And here she is sitting and waiting for our tour to start at noon. And we are the only tourists getting to see it



Finally
Look who seems to live in the Savannah river
LOL

wonderful "travel" photos. That is one part of the country I'd like to visit, but in the meantime, I can see it thorough your eyes.

And kudos to your mom for navigating those stairs! They look quite challenging!

No wonder she is proud. That is a great photo, too. The second one would be my pick for a staircase photo.

All of them remind me of our trip to Savannah and Charleston over a decade ago. It was hot!

Have a good time!
