Blowing my hotel budget this month! Decided I needed a TV to watch Senior Day at UVa (basketball).
Not a long drive today. I was in downtown Savannah by 9 am -- before the crowd showed up. I ended up walking around for almost five hours -- much more walking than I have done in the past few months due to plantar fasciitis and a painful piriformis. My piriformis is rather painful now as I sit in my hotel -- I'll be on the floor soon stretching it out.
Old Savannah reminds me of Charleston, Old Town Alexandria and Boston. I guess that makes sense as they were established around the same time. It is really lovely with a number of squares with big old oak trees. It certainly is a tourist area -- I like to think I look less touristy (dressed nicely and not wearing cargo shorts with a baggy t shirt) than most the folks I saw. (Snobby comment but somehow we've come to accept that we can dress all the time like we are going to do yard work.)
I opted for a slideshow this time. Music by Billy Currington who was born in Savannah. Look for the Coffee Fox, the Fox & Fig, the Paris Market, and the gold dome on the city hall.
Tonight I am staying in the hotel where Lucian stayed when his high school baseball team came down here for spring break. Fun memory.
If you have not watched "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" you should.....
