Hi All
Saturday we left Orange Lake and drove to Point South, SC and stayed at a quaint KOA. From there we were able to visit the Savannah area after church on Sunday. We found an ELCA congregation near by and decided to go there. The nearest LCMS was 67 miles away. The service was nice and the hymns great. I still have not figured out what the Pastor was trying to get across to the people. He missed it entirely. He had an opportunity to point his congregation to Word and Sacrament ministry as the way God plants and builds His church on earth and told them we know the when, where, and why but not the how. HOW, WORD & SACRAMENT THAT”S HOW. The Bible class was devoid of scripture and asked the question, “How can we make the church green.”
From there we went to Hilton Head for lunch and found a great Crab place called “Crabby Joe’s”. We plan to go back when it is cooler and spe
nd a week. From Hilton Head we drove over to Savannah and toured the city. Savannah is laid out as no other city in America. It is built around 24 squares each with its own nuances. The squares have various statues of historic figures, fountains, as well as different architecture. The city streets are beautifully canopied with majestic oaks and lined with 
18th and 19th centaury homes. Savannah was also the most populated city of free blacks in the South prior to and after the Civil War. The City Trolley Tour is so, so. Good narrative but not so good for pictures. It would be better to take the Carriage tour. Slower, yes, but more advantages for the shutter bug.
Monday we left for Julies. We drove through to the KOA and were glade we did. It allowed us a little time to find a better campground for our Washington stay. It was advertised as the closest to WA and for a KOA it may be. But, it is 52 miles south and off the beaten path. Quite rustic, too! So we are moving closer to WDC tomorrow by 25 miles and going into a RV Resort, not a camp ground down a Smithfield, RI back road out in the woods.
From the new location we will have better access to touring DC and meeting up with Julie.
Blessings
