Georgia On My Mind

We've spent the past two days in beautiful Savannah, Georgia. It is the prettiest town ever - sometimes it's hard to believe you're in America and not Europe! It was established in the late 1700s, and this is reflected in the beautiful architecture - and the scary graveyards that date back to that time, also!

We started off the day walking around historic downtown, and then had lunch at TV Chef Paula Deen's famous restaurant, 'The Lady and Sons.' But like most American restaurants in the South, the enormous portions meant that we left feeling ill, rather than satisfied!

We then headed out to Tybee Island, formally known as Savannah Beach. It was gorgeous! We have been so lucky to have the best weather (today was 22 degrees celcius and it's Winter!) so the beach was just beautiful. We even saw Dolphins jumping in the ocean!

Savannah is definitely one of my favourite places so far - the historic homes hidden amongst trees draped in Spanish moss, the pretty riverfront, the summery beach town, and plenty of modern shopping malls! If only I could win the greencard lottery!

Tomorrow we're leaving for Charleston, South Carolina, which is supposed to be gorgeous as well!

Night!
