More Savannah scenes, different days...
 |
| In Bonaventure Cemetery...Christmas Day afternoon |
 |
| Alternative spelling of the original German Scheraus; the family emigrated from Germany to the Salzburger settlement of Ebeneezer/New Ebeneezer in 1741; I'd always been told that that part of the clan that stayed in Georgia rose to some prominence in Savannah |
 |
| But for all the Spanish moss, could be a scene in Pere Lachaise... |
 |
| The Johnny Mercer bench...with titles of all his greatest hits... very impressive |
 |
| The Mercer plot; something I missed on a previous visit |
 |
| The Conrad Aiken bench, which we missed on an earlier visit; poet laureate, but not a nice person (I have read) |
 |
| Estuary country |
 |
| Vicki and I visited this house the day after Christmas |
 |
| In the slaves' quarters, names of known slaves in the families' several plantations inscribed on the brick wall |
 |
| Now a garden, would have been a slave work area in the day |
 |
| In the house... |
 |
| Nice Arnolfini mirror |
 |
The house was designed by a younger family relation and is notable for its over-the-top symmetry |
 |
| And this second floor catwalk/hall: we have toured great and not-so-great houses world-wide and never seen anything resembling this... |
 |
| Friday evening family dinner at the Pink House |
 |
| My fried shrimp; not pictured: the she-crab soup |
 |
| Her pecan-encrusted chicken |
