Bonaventure Cemetery

 






Bonaventure Cemetery
330 Bonaventure Road
Savannah, GA

"Bonaventure Cemetery is a rural cemetery located on a scenic bluff of the Wilmington River, east of Savannah, GA. The cemetery became famous when it was featured in the 1994 novel Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt, and the movie..."

Such a gorgeous cemetery, love the moss growing from the trees. So pretty. So you know they do have many bus tours that run within (through, if you wanna learn about those, we didn't wanna do all that ...being folks need to "social distance" and so forth) the cemetery, we just figured we would see a few streets within the cemetery and be on our way. So so amazing, The first scene is a street very close to that cemetery ...figured I would include it here as well. When we were visiting the area they had about 2 or so days of rain ...so it was flooding in Savannah (the water truly has no where to go, so it just backs up onto the streets, yards and historical spots, wild!!) ...many streets were closed, sure was interesting weaving through, trying to get to gardens and places we were hoping to visit. We always make the best of it when traveling, you have to go ...sitting in a trailer (campground) is not fun in the rain... wish it wouldn't rain when you are traveling, or camping out. Thank you for stopping by today. Hope you are well. Take care. Beth ( ;

"Bar U Ranch" , National Historic Site. Established in 1882, it was huge ranching operation  "even more info here." .  if you know anything about me, you will know I have always wanted to live on a farm, own a farm, have horses, cows, dogs, cats, garden, fields, quiet & peace the whole 9 or is it 10 yards. I want a mountain view like in the movie "Legend of the Fall" .  so when we got the chance to visit this location I really enjoyed seeing how the ranchers came in a took over the whole ranching/cattle business. it was hard work, long hours but if you had the right team you would do just fine. the shot over the campfire is a pot of coffee & hot water. the lady, let me see, i think her name was Greta, that could so be wrong but it is what is popping in my head this moment. she was great at telling the story. these men would all do different jobs. the chef would run with all his team ahead of the folks to set up and get

Lincoln's New Salem, Petersburg, Illinois

"Lincoln's New Salem" , Petersburg, Illinois. Can we just say 1st how difficult it is to spell ILLINOIS. nuts!! I think it is even easier to spell MISSISSIPPI. right??! We were told about this site, thanks to a tour guide in Colorado, he said there is a man who works here that look just like Abe Lincoln himself during his young years. Now if you know anything about me, I LOVE HISTORY. 2nd I love anything Abe Lincoln, he's one of my most favorite presidents ever. So I was super excited to meet this gentleman, do you think he was working the day we visited? nope, any ways... A lovely walk & we had fun seeing all the animals. I wonder why we live in such big homes, this one above shows a nice size home all you need in one little room. Less space, less money to pay each month. Sounds good to me!!!
