Chillesville in Savannah and a trip round the world!


We have spent a couple of days chilling out, in more ways than one (temp down near freezing at night). Yesterday we just stayed around the campground, went for a short walk to the nature area, saw a Pot Bellied Woodpecker having a go at a dead pine.

Today we had another lazy day, this afternoon we took a quick look in the local Target.

A local celebrated feature in Savannah suburbia is the Savannah Mortgage Company. "Who?" you say "Why?" you say. Well this company has enabled me to go round the world in one day, well in about 2 minutes. "How?" you say. In their back yard there is an enormous propane gas tank, about 10 metres in diameter. It is completely spherical. The have had the bright idea of painting a map of the world on to it. So it sits there as an enormous globe. So when we visited it I was able to walk right round the world!! Oh what fun.

We found his attraction on an interesting website called Roadside America.


Tomorrow we leave for Amelia Island, once more in Florida.
