Savannah with My Silver Fox, Day 1

07/06/2015 By: CCPearsoncomment

For an anniversary get-away not long ago, my Silver Fox and I decided to drive to Savannah, a place that was new to us.  We chose to make reservations at a beautiful Bed and Breakfast place called Presidents’ Quarters Inn. Each of the 16 rooms is named for a U.S. President. We got the Lyndon B Johnson Room — and no, that would not have been our choice because he is most definitely NOT our favorite president, but it has a king-size bed and was within our budget, so there. It’s actually a very comfortable and spacious room as you can see below.

This pretty courtyard is where breakfast is served when the weather allows.

After getting settled in, we decided to walk down to the river and eat at a casual place called Huey’s on the River. It was delicious!
Steve and I love raw oysters, but we’d never had them steamed. They’re messy and look as if they’ve just been scooped up from the swamp, but they were plump and tasty. Yes, we do tend to be adventurous eaters — within reason.

Steve had the shrimp and grits. He said it was great.

I’m allergic to shrimp, so I had an oyster po-boy with a side order of red beans and rice. Can’t get enough of those oysters.

After dinner, we took a stroll along the river and thought about how much better we like “our” river — the one that runs right in front of our house. 🙂 But, this one is nice, too.

The place Savannah most reminded us of at that point was Guayaquil, Ecuador — just not so hot. We couldn’t help but remember the Malecon and the many great volunteer teams that flew into the airport and began or ended their mission project in that city. We found similarities to New Orleans, of course, too.  Our impressions expanded the more we explored.

Oh yeah. The hotel people did a turn-down service while we were out for dinner, and there were some yummy chocolate treats on our pillows. What a great way to end the day.  🙂
Stay tuned for Part 2.
