Savannah II

Whatever illness I picked up on this trip is still lingering, but almost gone.

Back to the trip:

While in Savannah we went back to most of our usual haunts: the Owen House, Davenport House, and probably my favorite, the Andrew Lowe house.

Even if you are not into the decorative arts, just wandering the streets and squares of Savannah is a treat. You can be very touristy and wander the river walk, where the buildings and cobblestone ramps were used to store and load the cotton being shipped out from Savannah. Now full of gift shops, restaurants and the like.

There are plenty of places to eat in Savannah. Since we arrived in a horrendous rain storm, we opted to eat in at the Hilton, and it was very good. One night we went, as is our habit, to the Old Pink House. Very old fashioned, traditional (so traditional they seem to be the only restaurant without a web site), in a historic building. Excellent food and service, and and the atmosphere can't be beat. For a change the next evening, we went for Thai food, followed by a visit to Lulu's Chocolate Bar.

Then off to Charleston.
