End of tour

Day 32

A flight from Spokane to Chicago and then 3467 miles, 16 states and 2 provinces later we are at the end of our trip.  Today we continued on our walking tours of Savannah.  We made our way to Forsyth Park, a beautiful 20 acre park with a stage for performances and events, a beautiful fountain and other memorials.  The

Forsyth Fountain erected in 1858 is the most photographed site in Savannah. Beyond the fountain a bit is the Confederate Monument.  It was erected in 1874 in honor of the Confederate soldiers who died in the Civil War.  It was made in Canada, and transported to Savannah by ship so it would never touch Yankee soil.  We went to Clarys to have a cuppa and discovered they had old fashioned malts.  We went back later to get ours.  Evelyn is reading Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil where the Clary Cafe was described as a local hangout.  We went to St.John the Baptist Catholic Church in Charleston and discovered St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Savannah as well and the two buildings are nearly identical gothic structures.  Both large and beautiful.  Today I found my BBQ.  We had asked around and discovered that the best was Angels, a hole in the wall on an out of the way side street.  Angels we discovered has only three tables.  I called around 1:00 and asked how late they were open and learned they would close when they ran out of food, which could be fairly soon since they had a very busy lunch  hour.  We had Angel's Special and loved every bite.  There are quite a few bicycles in Savannah.  Most were single speed with fenders, a chain guard and fat white sidewall tires.  We are now ready to sleep our last night on the trip, catch our plane at 6 in the morning, get to Spokane by 12:30 and on to Ed and Lynn's pig roast.
