Today our drive in the rain continued. We left the motel quite early, still on Central time, and headed out in the rain to drive on through Alabama. South of Montgomery we headed cross country and finally crossed into Georgia and into the Eastern time zone as we crossed the Chattahoochee River. Most of the rivers and creeks were swollen from the continuing rains and were quite muddy. We continued to drive eastward finally arriving in Savannah by mid-afternoon. For the last hour it actually quit raining, although this was short lived.
We settled into
our motel and asked for directions to a clothing store as we had left home without rain coats. Not too bright. We found a mall and purchased slickers for $5.00 and then drove downtown to find Paula Deen's restaurant. We were actually able to park right in front of the restaurant, and there were no lines of people waiting to be seated. This was probably due to the rainy weather which had arrive
d here shortly after we did. We quickly were seated and ordered salmon and crab cakes, creamed spinach, rice, and house salad. We also had fresh fried breads, which were excellent. It was a good meal and not nearly as expensive as a meal at Emeril's.
Currently we are under a thunderstorm/tornado watch with the rain pouring outside. Also, the wind is supposed to hit 75mph. Hopefully when we head north tomorrow, the rain and the wind will be gone. It has been hard driving for these three days with the constant rain and low visibility. Fortunately, we only saw one accident during these days. It caused a backup for miles in the other direction. Happy travels.
