Touring Savannah Friday, May 11
Friday morning, we drove downtown to visit Historic Savannah. We parked and walked along the river: can you see the cobblestones? We ate at Dockside Seafood, oldest stone and masonry building in the state, built in 1792 by a shipbuilder. Inside we found a rustic atmosphere with stone walls and exposed beams and posts. We ate outside overlooking the river as the weather was cool with lower humidity...nice for us "drylanders" accustomed to near zero humidity!

You can see here the distance up to the next street from River Street--and the steps were steep! There were several areas similar to this, and other back-alley type like you'd find in Philadelphia; or what we saw in Whiskey Row in Prescott, AZ.
Nice replica of ships of old on a fountain by the river.
Our trip to Savannah would not have been complete had we not visited the famous Squares of Savannah!
We depart tomorrow for Charleston, SC, 107 miles up the coast! We will have more exploration to do! We are looking for buttermilk pie, and understand the Hominy Grill is a good place to eat where we might find buttermilk pie!
Savannah and Charleston are on our list, the Hominy Grill looks like a good place for buttermilk pie along with shrimp and grits
ReplyDeleteWe were disappointed in Savannah--Paula Dean's restaurant and its reviews (not positive). We discovered that the Pink Lady good place to eat...but we had run out of time. We would not return. Now Charleston: we are finding that we don't have enough time to see and do! We will return! Will definitely try the shrimp and grits and buttermilk pie at Hominy Grill and post!
