This post is long overdue. Svet and I visited the historic, very Southern city of Savannah a few weeks ago. I wasn't exactly sure what to expect other than spanish-moss-covered trees, old buildings and women in in big hats with parasols. We did see a lot of spanish moss and old buildings but the women with big hats and parasols have apparently been replaced with SCAD (savannah college of art and design) students looking very edgy and grim. We stayed at a lovely B&B where we were well fed even if we had to make small talk with the owner who often made politically tinted comments I did not agree with.
Our itinerary consisted of a beach day at Tybee Island, a jaunt through Bonaventure cemetery (made famous by
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil) , people watching in the public squares and a lot of walking around the city. There is a lot of southern food to be had in Savannah and by the time we left I was ready for a new genre. Here are some pics from our adventure.
On the way down we stopped to eat at the Whistlestop cafe in Juliette, where they filmed Fried Green Tomatos. Please excuse Svet's awkward hand placement:)

Headstone in Bonaventure. I like to look for potential child names in cemeteries, have for years.
Eery, but cool statue of Jesus? John the Baptist?

View of Tybee Beach from Tybee Lighthouse. Being up that high made Svet very nervous.
