Yesterday we flew into Charleston, South Carolina, rented a car, and arrived at our ultimate destination, Savannah, Georgia. We had a relaxing evening walking around the City Market. I enjoyed Shrimp and Cheese Grits, my favorite southern dish. We also had some amazing ice cream (2 scoops – one pineapple and one coconut) from the Savannah Candy Company. Our hotel has a fabulous jacuzzi on an outdoor patio on the second floor, so we ended the day by soaking for a while before falling into a dead sleep.
I can't figure out how to edit photos on the MacBook, so I'll just upload this one as it is. A nice lady on the River Walk offered to take our picture, and it was the only one I got of the two of us today (with our trolley ride stickers on our shirts). We enjoyed a trolley tour around the historic districts, and then set off on foot to explore the different squares.
We had lunch at Clary's Cafe … disappointing food, but fun to see a movie landmark. We also took some time to tour the The Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist, which was absolutely amazing. We enjoyed browsing through lots of art galleries. Robert Redford is filming a movie in town, so several of the streets were blocked … however, there were no celebrity sightings for us. We did, however, find a couple of fun pieces of local art to add to our collection.
Tomorrow we're off to explore Tybee Island and then head back up the coast to Charleston.
Love Savannah!! I don’t live that far from there
Hey – I’m so glad to see you’re enjoying your time. You’re not too far from me (Charleston is a great place to visit – I lived there for about 6 years). You are seeing some beautiful areas and can’t wait to see some more pictures soon. Have a safe trip.

I like grits but have never had them with cheese-sounds yummy. Enjoy your trip-sounds like fun.
Thanks for sharing!
