Early this morning Ken and I got up and around and headed for the river to see the sites. It was about a 2 block walk from our hotel, then down an elevator about 2 flights, or walk down a 70 degree stairway, we opted for the elevator. The river is beautiful as are the shops. I went into a cute shop called Jezebels, so many nice things, my mantra being no room in the Vette, no room in the Vette. I saw a pretty silk blouse, silk can fold up like a hankie, but thought I'd think about it, did pick up a cute headband, I love, Ken doesn't, think it's a man thing. Went to Vic's for lunch, very lovely on the river, delicious food.
After lunch hit the candy shops, those pralines and bear claws are yummy enough to make an anorexics mouth water. Did buy some delectables, have sampled a few, umm umm good. Back on the trolley for another tour. Tonight Ken and I will go on the haunted house tour and then out to eat in the Pirates Galley,think we'll have fun. SBack is sore as heck from standing and riding the trolleys, but still had a great day. The lunch at Vic's was very good. Sheila had a salmon salad, and I had a pulled pork sandwich with peach BBQ sauce that I thought I would dislike, but loved after all. The tour this afternoon re-traced the sites we saw yesterday, but at least it wasn't raining and we didn't have the plastic sides pulled down on the trolleys this time. The seats were just as hard though.
Savannah is a city we both would like to come back to visit soon. Understand they have the second largest St. Patrick's Day celebration in the country, but don't think I would like to be here for that. The riverside is filled with lots of touristy shops and bars and places to eat. Cobble stone streets along the riverside and lots of old buildings with interesting histories.
Speaking of histories, Savannah is supposed to be one of the most haunted cities in the country, and of course, we are going on a tour of some of the places tonight. Sounds like fun and (hopefully) laughs. Also having dinner on the tour.
Tomorrow, we will start heading back for New England. Haven't decided if we will still head through the Blue Ridge Mountain Parkway yet or not. Need to check the weather reports for that. We plan to be back home, hopefully, this next weekend. K
I was beginning to wonder if we'd see you guys before the spring thaw.
ReplyDeleteWeather report calls for a slight chance of "heavy, wet snow" Saturday, but even if it does, the Vette will be fine - you have less than 12K miles on those new tires, right?
Missed you for the couple days you were off with family, but glad you had such a good time. Savannah does sound nice; maybe we'll get a chance to visit there, too.
Have a great trip back, and see if you can run the Tail of the Dragon as you come north. I'm sure Sheila would love it!
