South Dakota Trip 2008 : We spent the last part of September traveling through South Dakota from the Eastern Plains to the Black Hills in the West.

The small towns and winding roads throughout the Black Hills and the Badlands are some of the most beautiful areas we have visited in the USA.

Attractions like Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse Memorial, Custer State Park and Devil's Tower, Wyoming, made this a very memorable trip.

One of the interesting things that happened was that we were able to meet the last living person who worked on Mount Rushmore.  He is 87 years old.  His picture is in this album.

See Rock City : Anyone that has traveled in the south years ago, remembers this sign painted on the roof tops of barns all along the hiways. The sign was always painted in black and white.   This was changed, and now the signs are in color.

I am going through some old pictures and came across these pictures on a small road off of one of the main hiways.  This picture was taken in 2002.

The black and red brochure holder was made for my wife many years ago.  These holders were placed in restaurants and motels all over the south and each one was made special for the location where it was placed.

It gives the mileage to various cities across the United States and always had the distance to Rock City.  Ours says it is 2418 miles to Rock City

Savannah, Georgia  Bonaventure Cemetery : Confined within its boundaries and enclosed within its vaults, crypts and plots are a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, politicians, plantation proprietors, publishers, soldiers and a songwriter. 

Bonaventure Cemetery is one of the most beautiful, historical sites in Savannah, GA. Visited by many tourists every year, Bonaventure was made ever more popular by John Berendt's book and the subsequent movie entitled, “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.” 

Bonaventure is the resting ground of fallen soldiers as well as many others, including Pulitzer Prize winning poet, Conrad Aikin and song writer, Johnny Mercer who wrote many timeless classics including “Moon River”, “Jeepers Creepers” and “Fools Rush In”. 

A statue made famous by the people who have visited the cemetery, is of a small girl. Gracie Watson is a girl who is buried in the cemetery. This life size statue is a supposed depiction of her. Many people who have visited the cemetery will leave presents or trinkets in her lap. Legend has it if the present is taken away, the statue of the girl will actually cry tears of blood and she will cry out into the night. Whether or not anyone has actually seen or heard this is yet to be discovered. 

A second more frightening legend of the Bonaventure Cemetery is a pack of ghost dogs who roam the cemetery grounds. Allegedly, this pack of ghost dogs will actually chase people out of the cemetery. Although no one has ever seen the ghost dogs, it has been said that people can hear them breathing and barking as they are being chased. Whether you are a fan of ghosts or just a fan of historical sites, Bonaventure Cemetery is a beautiful and interesting place to visit.

San Miguel de Allende, Mexico : All pictures are up for San Miguel de Allende.

This small town has narrow cobblestone streets and many old doors on the buildings.

Behind the doors could be anything from an empty lot to a beautiful courtyard or a modest to a very expensive residence.

The door knockers are also unusual

All around the town there are very old churches; very elaborate on the inside. 

San Miguel de Allende is very much a tourist town.
