1. Havana Ghost Tours --- When The Stars Arrive Out, So Do
The Ghosts
The MercerWilliams Property is amongst the premier places to visit for Halloween.
http://www.savannahtours.net It truly is currently the household of Dorothy Kingery, Ph.D.,
who will be the sister of renowned restorationist and former household owner Jim Williams.
Mr. Williams, readers of John Berendt's book "Midnight within the Garden of Superior and
Evil" will remember, was tried four instances for the 1981 murder of Danny Hansford. TruTV
outlines that Williams finally won acquittal in 198He only lived for another eight months to
enjoy his freedom. It did not take long for ghost stories to spring up and unusual sighting in
and around the dwelling to allegedly take spot.
After our night adventure around the Harbor, we woke up to a lovely sunrise as well as the
view inside the day light was again, stunning to say the least. Any time you are standing on
the Harbor and searching out more than the water, there seemed to become such a peace
and calm that settled upon the water. Even though there have been tourist walking about, I
felt as though I was in my own tiny world in my own small piece of heaven!
I've been resident of Georgia for 9 years and it was only recently that I had the opportunity to
visit Savannah, Georgia with a group of my girlfriends. Originally, our main objective was to
visit Tybee Island, which is about 10 miles outside of Savannah. However, our 4 day trip was
packed filled with wonderful photo opportunities at Paula Deans restaurant, "Lady and Sons"
and a midnight ferry ride on the Harbor.
As I got closer for the building I felt a wave of heat hit me. Now, it was July 3rd, and it had to
have been about 90 degrees even at 9PM. I was in Key West after all. I brushed the heat off
as just my excitement or the ambient temperature. I put my ear for the glass and listened. I
could hear voices plus a steady thumping sound. It sounded almost like a heartbeat. But, that
was crazy thinking I told myself. Obviously, I was dehydrated from my walkabout.
River Street Around the Savannah River you will find 9 blocks of renovated cotton
warehouses filled with souvenir shops, bars, restaurants, nightclubs, hotels, and art galleries
known as River Street. It is a steep walk down the stairs and even steeper to drive down the
narrow winding roads, but the easiest solution to get down to River Street is to take the
elevator down from the Hyatt hotel on Bay Street. Our visit to Savannah coincided using the
initially Saturday in the month on "First Saturdays", local artists set up booths along River
Street showcasing their crafts. There can also be live entertainment. Also "First Fridays" of
your month showcase fireworks. Don't miss River Street Sweets the best pralines in town.
We had already purchased some pralines at Savannah Candy Kitchen in City Market
because they have been on sale (buy a pound, get lb free), however, that was before we had
the opportunity to sample the pralines at River Street Sweets. The chocolate pralines at River
Street Sweets had been decadently rich and chocolaty as well as the original pralines have
been by far the most delicious we ever tried. River Street Sweets also has a location in

2. Charleston, SC.
The climate in Savannah can best be described as moderate. The hottest month is July,
when temperatures can soar to the mid 90s. In the winter, the temperature can dip to 38
degrees. Our trip took spot during June, and we found Savannah to be hot, muggy, and
overcast. Expect isolated thunderstorms almost every day in the summer. After a particularly
heavy evening downpour (it looked like a river was flowing down the street), a local told us
that it was just the standard 6 o'clock shower. We woke up every morning to heavy rain,
however the sky would always clear up by the time we finished breakfast. Savannah has a
subtropical climate, and the torrential rains come and go throughout the day. We were lucky
to usually be inside during these thunderstorms. The best advice we can give is to carry an
umbrella with you at all instances when it rains in Savannah, it pours!
What many people don't know is the fact that Juliette Gordon Low was almost deaf. She had
lost most with the hearing in 1 ear before she was married in 188Our tour guide told us that
due to a piece of rice getting stuck in her ear during the wedding celebration, she lost all of
her hearing in the other ear. Because of this, her interest in the arts was a comfort to her but
she nonetheless looked for her calling in life.
The Azalea Inn on Huntington Street is actually a fine example of a large private property
turned into a comfortable, romantic inn. Not far from Forsythe Park, the Victorian structure
was built in 1889 and has been lovingly restored to it is former glory. Each space is filled with
antiques and elegant period furnishings. Proprietors, Jessie and John are sure to give you a
warm welcome and provide a tasty, complete breakfast every morning.
