Walking Ghost Tour
We all met at the Statue of John Wesley for a walking Ghost Tour. It was an extra 5$ to get to go into Low house (Girl Scout Founder) and while it smelled of a scam (tour guide was the daughter of the curator of the Lowe house) the house tour was probably worth the entire 15 bucks. Although we were given tickets I really do not see why you can not just follow one of these groups around and get the benefit of their talks after all the sidewalk is Free.
We got the added bonus of having the current Miss Georgia . I have to say, what a creep. She wanted her friend to cuss at the picture in the Low house because the "Ghost did not like rude people", at one point she jumped out and screamed at her "little sister" who made the very adult comment of "grow up". I was not impressed and really did not think she was that pretty.

Leupolds
I can not emphasis this enough, our Oglethorpe tour guide says this was the best in Savannah, all hand made custom ice creams. Now, he said this after he showed us Walls BBQ and said the same thing. He struck out big time in my opinion on that one, but he made up for it here, 10 times over. I have to recomend the chocolate chocolate chip. Its got some much chocolate in it, it stained my hands, and felt like I was commiting a crime washing my face.

Crab Shack on Tybee
We ventured back the the Crab Shack on Tybee for Dinner on Sunday. There was no line we say down directly, and despite the 90+ degrees and 100% humidity, the cooling fans, and shade made it very comfortable outside. They have no fried food, everything is boiled. It is great and worth the trip. We both had half/half shrimp and crab legs. The crab was to die for.
Note: the gift shop is probably something to be avoided. They have this "Cat Rescue" thing going on and seem to not really care where or when the cats decide to releive themselves. It was like a 1,000 square foot litter box, while I did not see the evidence, my eyes were watering, and nose was running from the ammonia. I was not going to risk buying anything there and bringing it home.

Bonaventure
After our naps Lori and I headed back to Tybee for Dinner, we decided that this would be a good time for a second trip to Bonaventure Cemetery. As usual I got lost and had to Google map it on my phone. We arrived and parked and then got back in the car and drove to the back where the "interesting" stuff was. We both found it interesting and not creepy. Some of these headstones are amazing, it would take months to build some of these with modern tools, I can not imagine what it took 150 years ago to build them, much less moving them by horse and wagon and standing them up with block and tackle without dropping them.
Nap time...
We got up at about 5 am this morning to make the trip to Tybee to see the sunrise, then there was the lighthouse, then Clarey's, we are bushed. Time for a nap and some anti-biotic
Note on Clarey's the food is to die for but they probably should also keep defibulator paddles handy lard is about as low fat as they get. If you go on a Sunday get there before 11 am, we left right at 11 and it was stacked up to about an hour wait, we only had to wait for them to wipe the table off. Oh, and get the ham, it is almost a meal in its self.

Breakfast at Clarey's
After the 178 steps we were worn out, and since the crab shack did not open for another two hours, we made a run for some people watching, but with Lori wet from the beach and me still bleeding, I think we were the watched not the watchers. BTW: This is the best we have eaten since we have been here, #2 on the list is the Sushi from Kroger.
178 Steps.... it did not seem like that many
But it was.... I realized how many that was when I thought I was almost done and reached a platform where the "Medical Kit" (note to self do not go anywhere thet keeps a medical kit and defibulator paddles on the tour) was. However, my anticipation was quickly quashed when I saw it was labled "mid lighthouse".
I don't think we are Kansas anymore
Seemed like an odd sign
Followed by an odd fence
Followed by an odd tree with strange fruit
Followed by an odd house, this would be my pick for Keila's future residence.
What happens on Tybee
As we walked north on the shortline combing the beach, we came across a couple in a swing up in the dunes laughing almost uncontrollably. Lori just kinda stops and looks at them and only then did it become apparent what was so funny. This is the view from the beach at the life guard station.
