Yesterday we got up in Savannah, Georgia, and went to bed in Wilmington, North Carolina. We drove up the scenic highways near the coast.
At one point we made a detour into a wildlife area in a swamp. We saw great white heron or great egret, great blue heron, and possibly a glossy ibis. Where there weren’t too many black vultures, we saw crows. The crows seem to avoid the larger scavengers.
We’re staying with friends on the outskirts of Wilmington. One of my best friends from twenty years ago, a restless soul, has alighted here for the moment. To my dismay, she’s avoiding surgery by treating melanoma with naturopathic and homeopathic remedies.

Savannah is one of my most greatest places to visit within the US. Hopefully you were able to make a stop at Wormsloe Plantation. I was so impressed with Savannah, that I’ll be publishing a book on it soon entitled “Walking Savannah and Beyond”.

I don’t know. Touring a plantation would probably feel like picnicking in the Holocaust Museum.

What would you know about the history of Wormsloe that I don’t.

How about this?

How about being abducted, bought and sold, rape, murder, torture, deprivation, degradation?
