Savannah visit by Terry
Hello from Frank at the Fairways
Terry our friend
This morning we took Joanna’s best friend Terry to the airport, for her return to Columbus, after having a delightful week of sharing our love for her and reminiscing about all the good times we had together before her beloved husband and my friend died suddenly this year after we all had just returned from vacation in Mexico.
Sunny Savannah
Weather could not have been any more cooperative as the Chamber of Commerce rolled out sun and 70′s ! Fall is a special time of the year with cooler mornings and bright sunny afternoons.
Having fun in the city
We took Terry to Mass at what has become our favorite Savannah church The Cathedral of St John the Baptist an incredible national treasure built in the 1800’s and similar to old world cathedrals of Europe. It seats over 1000 for services where you are surrounded by stained glass windows that were built and installed by master craftsman from Austria creating a wonderful glowing visionary atmosphere in this holy place. We had dinner at “The Olde Pink House” the oldest standing mansion in Savannah, circa 1771, on Thursday night. I have now been to this restaurant twice and each time have been impressed with the quality of the service and food. The restaurant is rated as one of the top five restaurants in the city. The night we had dinner at the Pink House movie actress Claire Danes and her husband actor Hugh Dancy was at the table next to us. Numerous actors and actresses have been in the city for the Savannah Film Festival. We took a walking tour of the city with Savannah Dan. Savannah Dan is well worth any visitors trip to Savannah as he is a charming, humorous southern gentleman well versed in the history of the city and its beautiful squares and mansions. See Savannah Dan. Dan’s tour is highly ranked by Trip Advisors.
The girls also went to the Outlet stores in Bluffton, near Hilton Head Island, for some early Christmas shopping.
We topped off her visit by joining in a fun Friday evening at Happy Hour at the Savannah Quarters Country Club for a few cocktails and appetizers followed by dinner with some new friends from Philadelphia that we have met. The Club was a hoppin’ with folks out enjoying the camaraderie of the membership.
All visitors to our beautiful area especially need to consider these venues on their trips.
By the way……for all of you Buckeye fans I just wrote this as our team dismantled and dominated Penn State……….YEA….GO BUCKS! IOWA is next.
