Isle of Hope is a beautiful southern city. We went walking last evening and saw many beautiful homes!
Today we headed into Savannah to the
visitors center where we caught the “Old Town Trolley” for a narrated
tour of the city and what a beautiful city it is. This will be a return
trip some day by car to spend more time taking in all the sights.
We were early in the tour and stopped
for another passenger. Oh my gosh! It is Forrest Gump!!!! He is
looking for Lieutenant Dan! He had just run from Alabama! I hope he
finds him. The bench scene in Forrest Gump was filmed here as well as
many other movies.
There is a great story about the photo below. A very wealthy man had twin
daughters who were always competing. To avoid a fight he had twin homes
built side by side, exactly alike so there would be no arguing. Of
course it didn’t totally work. The girls still fought about who got
which side.
The homes in this city are gorgeous! Look at the steps going up to this one with all the greenery.
The one below was built in 1817!
The other spectacular scenery are the trees!
And the churches!
We had lunch down by the river at this restaurant!
Here are the men sitting on a bench while Linnea and I wandered through the shops.
Such a beautiful city! Tomorrow we head for Beaufort, SC!
