We left our Campground on Edisto Island a day early to travel to Savannah. I got my first chance to drive the rig, and it went well....meaning I didn't drift off the road or scrape anything! It's exhausting though....physically and mentally...not natural like driving the car.
But it was so damn cold this AM! Once again our toes were frozen an hour down the road, and as we pulled into our camp for the night...Walmart/Sam's Club...I even saw a few tiny white flakes!!! So we had a nice bowl of soup and took a nap.
Two hours later we drove into Savannah to get our first look. We started at the waterfront, known as Factor's Row. Here they converted old dockside storage areas into bi-level shops, hotels and condos, along River Rd and Bay St, connected by wrought iron stairwells and bridges, and surrounded by cobblestone road, with a trolley running through. Nice concept, but since we're not shoppers....well, it seemed a bit "tourist-y" to us. So we drove through the city, laid out around small square parks, lovely row houses, nice downtown shopping district. And best of all...Leopold's Old Fashioned Ice Cream Parlor. Yummy!!
But since we weren't even inspired to take photos, nor to take another trip in tomorrow morning, tell us we didn't love Savannah as we expected to. So tonight a movie from the Red Box at Walmart, and tomorrow on southward.
