East Coast--Savannah, GA--Day 14

Things have slowed down a little. Yesterday we had a maintenance day. While Jo did the laundry I spent the day doing some maintenance on the coach. These are one of those days you need to take every so often to keep things working. Jo also fixed dinner for our friends Diane & Russ who came over in the evening after they got off work. Today we got started in late morning and went to downtown Savannah. Russ had taken us on a driving tour of this area last Saturday so we went back today to walk part of it. This part of Savannah is steeped in history and has many beautiful old buildings. Down around the river, where the boats tie up are still cobblestone.

After walking River Street and doing some of the tourist things, such as picking up gifts for our grandkids, we decided it was time for lunch. We first were just going to get in the car and head back to the motor home and see what along the way looked good. As we were going south we saw a sign pointing to Tybee Island, where we had spent some time last Saturday. We decided to head out that way and have lunch at Fannie's again. We had shrimp burgers, a new experience. These turned out very good. The patty in the burger is made with shrimp instead of beef.

We did not eat lunch until around 2:00 pm so we figured we'd skip dinner and just snack. That was until Diane called and asked us to join them for dinner at a Chinese place close to their house. After driving all the way back to the west of town to the coach, in rush hour traffic, to feed the dogs, we headed back to the east side for dinner. We had a really good dinner and a great last visit with our friends. As we came out of the restaurant we noticed the full moon over Savannah. This was a very fitting end to a wonderful visit to this beautiful city. Tomorrow we will be back on the road and heading for Charleston, SC.
