Location Placed: Juliette Gordon Low House, Savannah, Georgia
Date Placed: 8/4/11 at 3:13pm





Being a former girl scout many moons ago, thought not particularly dedicated toward the end, I was a bit excited to go to this house. Some of the knowledge of her life came back to me as I enjoyed the lovely tour. I particularly enjoyed the porch facing the garden. I like to think of them as the 'See & Be Seen' porch. It seems like those sorts of porches were the ones that people in the old days were invited if they were someone import to the hosts. Between that and the higher floors, people certainly knew how to party. I can just imagine the people of the past, decked out in their party outfits, milling around on those porches in the cooler nights of spring and fall. (Only because I can't imagine anyone wanting to party outside in the summer heat I experienced.) But the Juliette Gordon Low was a lovely last minute addition to my house tour of the day.

There are lots of wonderful things to discover while vacationing to a new place. From wonderful things to eat, to little between the building cemeteries and cafes with lovely desserts. Savannah has lots of little things to do and see. I popped in here to get a cool drink before I headed off to my next destination. While not really a hole in the wall, as it was on a super bright corner lot next to a square, I'm a sucker for non-chain coffee places. They always seem to have an interesting atmosphere. Do you have a favorite cafe or local coffee joint?

Location Placed: Green-Meldrim House, Savannah, Georgia
Date Placed: 8/4/11 at 1:16pm



It seems my phone ate the pre-placement picture. The Green-Meldrim House is one of those lovely historic homes that are decorated in period furniture with interesting stories of the people that lived there. I think my favorite bit was the lovely set of windows above the stairs that actually had a ring of flame blowers surrounding it to give light into the darker stairwell. That and the double pocket front doors that allow for airflow and light.

Location Placed: Mrs. Wilkes Boarding House, Savannah, Georgia

Mrs. Wilkes Boarding House is a very popular restaurant in Savannah where you sit at a large table seating 10 and eat together boarding house style (where there is bowls of stuff passed around). Since the line was quite long, I spent most of my hour long wait talking to the nice ladies ahead of me in line. They were about ready to adopt me by the time we got up to the front of the line but as a single person, I was bumped up to a different table. They were also visiting Hilton Head and just spending the day in Savannah. I wish I had been able to sit with them, but instead I sat with a group from Ohio and one from the same area I went to for my undergraduate university degree. Small world.

Location Placed: E. Shaver Books, Savannah, Georgia
Date Placed: 8/4/11 at 10:40pm





From the hotel room window, I could see E. Shaver Books across the street and you all know I have a weakness for bookstores. Definitely cute as independent bookstores usually are. If I actually lived in the area, I could totally see myself becoming a regular there and then popping over Madison Square to read. Makes me want to try to find a local park to do some reading in.

Location Placed: Leopold's Ice Cream Shop, Savannah, Georgia
Date Placed: 8/3/11 at 9:33pm





After the adventure of a Savannah ghost tour, I swung around to the evidently popular Leopold's for some much esteemed ice cream. Birthday Cake Milkshake in hand, I tried to find a place to release a crane where it would be found but I wouldn't be too obvious in taking a picture of it. However, the place was filled with people so I eventually gave up and just put it on a table in plain sight. At least you can see the crane and the location around my finger in this photo.

Location Placed: Hilton Desoto Hotel, Savannah, Georgia
Date Placed: 8/3/11 at 5:30pm





I had a lovely view of Savannah from the back of the hotel, facing out onto Madison Square. One of the cool things about Savannah is the number of squares, or small parks, that dot the city. There are over 20 squares making the city look pretty green when viewed from up high. I think the squares were my favorite part of the city. On my first night visiting, I got a meal to-go and spent the night eating in Chippewa Square (or where the opening scene from the movie Forest Gump was shot). I think I drove or walked through the majority of the squares, which was a real treat.

Location Placed: Hyatt Regency Hotel, Savannah, Georgia
Date Placed: 8/3/11 at 5:02pm





I popped into the Hyatt to enjoy a little bit of their cool temperatures before I struck out to figure out where the tour shuttle stop was. About a minute or so after I started out, a few big, fat raindrops fell onto my plastic bag (filled with my new brand new pieces of art). A bit of blind wandering lead me to standing under (yet another lovely) live oak with a judge and his younger daughter. He told me a bit about his job and his trip to Hilton Head, South Carolina with his family. Out of all the ways I could be stuck in the pouring rain, spending time with an interesting stranger standing under a picturesque tree is certainly high on my list.
