Charleston still has many rough edges but they are found in North Charleston, its deep water port and industrial area. In Savannah, I hope you made it to the Telfair Academy, housed in a magnificently restored old mansion. It's Savannah's art museum & well worth the visit. <br />Cheers, Diane in<br />Lilac Heavenly DenverAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1494925975380418965.post-71195091351780503132015-04-23T23:33:44.919-04:002015-04-23T23:33:44.919-04:00Brilliant idea going South to soak up some sun and...Brilliant idea going South to soak up some sun and feast your eyes on colors! I love pink houses. I actually painted our little cottage in Deep Creek, Maryland, light pink. I thought it was really cute, but our neighbors complained (pink just didn't fit up there), so we had to paint it a more traditional blue.

Charleston is almost at the point of being too gentrified for me and so many tourists. Savannah is still a little rough around the edges.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09606982492407185097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1494925975380418965.post-70487603203225579612015-04-23T09:17:08.384-04:002015-04-23T09:17:08.384-04:00I just got a book about Monet's garden from th...I just got a book about Monet's garden from the library. I had no idea it was so extensive. Val's comment brings up a good point for me, that it's all about the setting.

I did go on a ghost walk at night in Savannah, which was more about the host or of the city than the supernatural. It's actually lovely on warm evenings. It's compact and safe, the squares are nicely lit. One of my dreams is to go on a garden tour in England.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09606982492407185097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1494925975380418965.post-87640963856895173552015-04-23T09:11:02.924-04:002015-04-23T09:11:02.924-04:00Great places to honeymoon!Great places to honeymoon!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09606982492407185097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1494925975380418965.post-86315093956910797102015-04-23T09:10:43.547-04:002015-04-23T09:10:43.547-04:00They are lovely charming cities.
