Savannah Fun!

While Savannah is known for gracious Southern homes, frankly the homes can be a bit boring after a while.  Instead we wanted to visit things that are more fun.  Most people wouldn’t think a cemetery is fun, but you know me! With all the Spanish moss, Bonaventure Cemetery looked creepier than most.

One of the things we learned was the Jewish tradition of putting stones on the gravestones during a visit.  Flowers aren’t used, but instead a stone is added during a visit as a remembrance.  It comes from the old days when the grave site was a cairn (a pile of stones) so that adding a stone was a way to keep the site and memory strong.  Quite a few of the gravestones had small stones added.  This one had more than normal.

Quite a jump from a cemetary to a storage tank, but how about this storage tank?  It’s been painted as an earth globe.  The mailbox is also painted. Very cool!
