Savannah, Georgia

We drove back inland from Virginia Beach to locate I-95 and follow this interstate highway from southern Virginia through North Carolina and South Carolina to arrive in Savannah, Georgia. We arrived late in the afternoon and immediately set out to walk along Bay Street. We found two pubs that looked likely to have good beer and dinner and finally settled on Churchill's Pub and Restaurant located at 13 W. Bay Street. Our wait person was Kimberly and proved to have a great sense of humor and good judgement about the beer available and what was good on the menu.

A pint of Chocolate Stout and a pint of Skipjack, and we were good for the meal. We decided to try hors d'oeuvres of: Pear, Kiwi, and Spring Greens Salad with Champagne Pomegranate Vinaigrette Dressing, Blue Crab Cakes, Bacon-wrapped Scallops, and English (puff pastry-covered) Sausage Rolls. This feast was followed by coffee, Red Velvet Cake, and Bourbon Pecan Pie with drizzled chocolate and whipped cream over the top. Delightful!!!!!!

We walked to the Olde Pink House to make reservations for tomorrow evening and then walked home, enjoying the Spanish moss in the trees, muted lights, and visitors dining at many wonderful restaurants. Tomorrow we plan to take a trolley tour of the area which allows us to get on and off at any stop and continue on a later trolley. More about this adventure tomorrow. Sleep well!
