Savannah

Savannah. (Sigh.) What a beautiful city. I could wander those streets for days. Every house looks like the set of "Gone with the Wind" and you run into a romantic city park about every 3 blocks. Friday night we took a ghost story walking tour. Savannah is supposed to be one of the most haunted cities in the world and I can see why. Practically the whole city is build on a giant cemetery. The picture of Devin is taken in front of an old hotel that is haunted. They went to redo the floor in the '90s and discovered hundreds of limbs dating back to the Civil War. (It was used as hospital and I guess their disposal policies were a bit different back then. "Just throw it on the floor. They'll clean it up in 100 years.") So now people see ghosts with missing limbs wandering the halls. A girl said one bit her! Freaky! It was really fun to walk around the streets at night and hear the scary stories of people being buried alive and stuff. Who knows how much of it is true but who cares? I sure didn't.

The Lady and Sons... I had no idea what a big deal Paula Deen's restaurant was. We had to wait in line for 2 hours just to get our name on the list for dinner. Then we had to come back 3 hours later and wait for another half hour. Worth it? You betcha. Fried green tomatoes, crab cakes, hoe cakes, mac and cheese, fried chicken, collard greens, black-eyed peas, candied yams... It was so yummy. Worth the wait for sure.
