us on a tour of the town. Russ is the County Manager here and has a wealth of knowledge about Savannah and the area. (A County Manager is like what we have back home in a City Manager except he is over the whole county.) Diane is into dogs and has been able to rescue several. She also has some that are trained to be thearpy dogs to be used with the sick and dying. She currently has five of the most lovable pooches a person could ask for. Russ took us all on a tour of Savannah, starting out on Ty
bee Island. We had told them that Joanne was really into light houses so we went to the Tybee Island Light Station. As was posted in previous blogs on our trip last winter to Florida you know we try to see all the light houses we can and climb the ones that are open to the public. This one was open and we climbed all 175 steps to the top. Di and Russ said they had done this before so they waited on the ground. I find the more of these things I climb the older I feel.

ured the beach area of Tybee Island and had lunch at Fannie's right beside the beach. This is Russ's favorite place and I must admit the food was outstanding. We later walked around the area and went out on the fishing pier just in time to see three guys pulling in a hugh man-of-war. This is the same type creature that killed the Crocadile Hunter in Australia. All three guys had hooked the beast and were moving up the pier toward the shore to bring him in. The pier itself was quite inpressive and was not only built for fishing but was used for many functions such as weddings.

This is a beautiful old town and we saw several places we will be returning to spend more time during this next week.

Life on the road is great. Maybe someday you can make it a full time thing like many of your friends. You guys sure get around for just being part timers.
