I had to smile at your husband's reaction and how you still took his picture. I'm sure that would be the same if that had happened to us!

Very interesting. Of course it heightened my desire to visit the city.<br /><br />It's hard not to fall in love with Savannah, isn't it? <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04872527316616969038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-79750468772790296802012-04-08T13:03:36.949-04:002012-04-08T13:03:36.949-04:00I am a Savannahian, live just off Madison Square, ...I am a Savannahian, live just off Madison Square, the square next to Monterey Square.

We had quite many colonial mansions here in George Town, Penang (now a UNESCO World Heritage Site).<br /><br />And we used to have a small Jewish community before independence. I believe none is left now esp when there is no official diplomatic missions between my country and Israel, and the animosity against Jewish community is fueled by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The only Jewish traces left here is an obscure Jewish cemetery in George Town. Many people here don't even know the existence of it! :)kyhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281584550103867329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-44171013013510886292010-10-12T18:01:19.967-04:002010-10-12T18:01:19.967-04:00Vagabonde, I read this three times, to make sure I...Vagabonde, I read this three times, to make sure I didn't miss any of the details. Such lucious posts you write!! I know of the architectural beauty of Savannah, but to see the photos and hear of it first-hand was superb. <br />I'll have to tell my daughter the Clint Eastwood story - he is one of her favourite actors and the only old guy, other than Sean Connery, whose age doesn't make him icky. <br />It's really a fascinating place you live in - so much history and the culture is unique. I see it that way, at any rate. <br />I'll get to your last couple of posts too, if I can. You're always a treat.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10892637441668897411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-28883820898759696812010-10-12T04:38:05.938-04:002010-10-12T04:38:05.938-04:00I copied the French words of Les Feuilles Mortes f...I copied the French words of Les Feuilles Mortes for my French-pupils. What a way to learn the imperfect tense! Ah, and listening to Yves Montand! We have a French program on TV, called ARTE, and last night there was a 1980 film with Cathérine Deneuve...aah again!<br /><br />There is actually soo much to comment on your blog, I never know where to start. My husband resembles Clint E. a bit, so I always love to see his films. He was probably happy that you did NOT talk to him (if he is like my husband), haha. Salut de l`Allemagne!

I am in the middle of reading his second book, "The City of Falling Angels." It is also a very compelling mystery. <br /><br />I would have had the same reaction as you had if I met Clint Eastwood! Even in a distant photo he is easy to pick out of the crowd!<br /><br />I have so much to catch up on with your Vagabonde! After coming back from vacation I have not been able to be on the computer as much as I'd like to for one reason or the other.

I just told Astrid we need to see if our DVD store here in The Netherlands has the movie because I'd like to see it again. My Ex and I purchased a replica of the Bird Girl on the cover of the book I sold it before I moved to a gay guy who now has it in his woods.

I thought it was very well cast though I didn't know tyhe principals--iy just felt like it was wonderfully cast--Particulat;y Kevin Spacey as Jim Williams. Such an intertesting mystery, though I felt from the Movie that Williams did it!<br /><br />I LOVE Yves Montand singing this song. Well,I LOVE Yves Montand! (lol). There is something about European Orchestral Arrangements that is very different than US arrangements. The Instrumenation is so much more "real"...that's the only way I can put it. I noticed on this Video and I have an Album of Marlene Duetrich "live" at The Cafe de Paris, many many MANY years ago---and again, the Instrumentation and Orchestrations are so very different and to my way of thinking so rich in History.....<br />I have LOVED these Savannah Posts....It's a city I wish I had visited.OldLady Of The Hillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02458879772193114892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8796960161183320830.post-90253501468723857602010-10-09T19:20:42.479-04:002010-10-09T19:20:42.479-04:00It might interest you to know that my cleaning lad...It might interest you to know that my cleaning lady, who is a French national, was here when I was reading your post.
