Sound of a Savannah Ghost Tour

There have been airports with coughing passengers, delayed flights, and bumpy landings since my last post. But that’s okay, I had Stacia Kane’s book, Unholy Ghosts, www.staciakane.net/ with her dark, gritty, highly original characters and her amazing world-building to take the edge off.

That was me standing in the boarding line, totally seduced, desperate for one more page.

Besides, I was willing to put up with my neighbor’s incessant sneezing because the prize at the end of the day was Savannah. You know how I love to walk the Squares, admire the architecture and get lost in the history.

No visit would be complete without meeting up with confidant and favorite Savannahian, Harriet Meyerhoff http://www.Savannahsites.com/. In addition to getting together with Harriet, I visited the breathtaking World War II memorial monument her husband, renowned Savannah architect, Eric Meyerhoff, designed, A World Apart. In a city full of monuments, this one fills the viewer with awe.

I was surprised to run into Ben Affleck in Wright Square…..who knew he shopped at CVS? Sorry, but I forgot I had a camera on me, so you’ll have to take my word for it when I tell you he looks like a movie star and has really broad shoulders. And let’s face it; I’m not cut-out to play paparazzi. So instead of Ben, you’ll have to settle for this shot of the Savannah River.

Stop grumbling, I said I was sorry.

After enjoying dinner on West Congress Street I dropped by Leopold’s Ice Cream Parlor for a scoop of coconut ice cream www.leopoldsicecream.com/about/history/ . Then it was a short walk back to the B&B. Every few minutes a ghost tour carriage ride passed beneath my window.

The soft clip clop of ghost tour horse hooves was the perfect sound effect for digging into Stacia Kane’s Unholy Ghosts, because in Savannah, ghosts are never far away.
