Well today after having myself an aweful day in the market, I went back to my hotel room and fell asleep for about 2 minutes. Then, the fire alarm went off. Thinking that maybe the hotel was on fire, I put on my shoes and grabbed my laptop. Everything else can burn…well, except for the golf clubs. I walked out of my room and another guest says, “False alarm…Somebody burned some hamburgers.” Ha! The alarm stopped shortly thereafter.
Since I was already up, I decided to get in the car and drive downtown. Let me first say that I had Savannah all wrong. This city is amazing. I guess being midtown is not the place to be. I have never seen a more beautiful downtown in all my travels. The city is full of charm with old-style Southern architecture lining every road. There were parks and plazas. Downtown was buzzing. I can only imagine what it was like 200 years ago. Heck, even 100 years ago.
One of the baristas at the Bucks encouraged me to take a ghost tour. I think I have found a good one. It is the Pub Crawl which takes you through old taverns in downtown Savannah. It includes drinking, mingling, socializing, and history. I did drive by the Pink House Restaurant and there was a line out the door onto the street. Amazing! I have read some great reviews on it and I think I will dine there and catch a late night tour of Savannah tomorrow.
I leave Thursday. Not sure where I am headed to next. Somewhere in Florida.
