Once again, I didn't have the Internet. Damn, damn, damn! I've been in Savannah, and heard all these incredible stories of ghosts and hauntings in the city. Did you know that it was actually build on its dead? Incredible. I always encountered a Greyhound bus that was actually filled to the brim with former prisoners of the state and one that had a redneck and his redneck girlfriend spraying perfume all over the place. But since I didn't have the Internet, I couldn't share those stories with you in full.
Savannah is beautiful though, but so filled with people triple my age. I went to the Telfair Museum, the oldest museum in the south, and I went to one of the graveyards that seemed to have only peope who died in the 1820's... And if you ever read the book (or seen the movie) Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, it's a twice as interesting place to be. Oh, and I saw the place where Forrest Gump once talked about chocolates. And so much more. If one I could tell you all about it, so I'm so over it now (don't worry, the stories will be out when I get back).
I'm kind of glad I'm in Athens now though. There are people my age here. Yesterday I met some people at this quiz thing and they took me to a forest in Athens. Here there was a huge rock that we all climbed on the top of and beneath it was the roaring water. Keep in mind that this was past midnight, but the moon was full so you could still see everything. It was so beautiful and as I sat there, I really did feel at peace with everything. There was a girl in the group from Alaska, and I have never met anyone who loved nature like her. She climbed up everything and by the end of the night she and a girl named Anna decided that I had to go with them tomorrow (which is today) to this lake where there is an island they want to go to. First things first though, so we're going to have breakfast first at this place called The Grit. Perfect timing, since I've wanted to go to that place for a long time - yes, before I came here.
Well, guess that's it for now. Here in Athens I have Internet and I love it. I've come to appreciate that a lot more.
