We had a nice dinner at The Shrimp Factory (recommended by Karen, our dental hygienist in Atlanta). Our waiter, Michael, took great care of us and even showed us how to get to Forrest Gump's bus bench tomorrow. We topped off dinner with the pie recommended by Amanda from the hotel - White Chocolate Coconut Cream Pie. Barbara said it was the best pie she had ever eaten in her life! It was tasty.
We took a stroll down the lovely waterfront area before calling it a night. Savannah is truly a uniquely beautiful American city, and we look forward to tomorrow when we begin our day with a Savannah Tour. (Round America Photos from Savannah Georgia)
The biggest lesson we learned today, or most important observation, is that there is a kinder and gentler life in the smaller towns in America. Small towns seem somewhat insulated from the negative aspects of life in big cities.
The Daily Journal of Round America:
Each day, we collect our thoughts on a web page just like this. We drop in some of the photos from the day. Our goal with the Daily Journal is to write about the towns we visit, the sights we see, the people we meet, and the pie we eat. We write about where we are, where we've been, and where we are going, but we also make observations about what we've seen and done as well as about life in general.
You can follow our travels from the Daily Journal section of the Round America web site or from this Round America Blog. Other pages of interest include the running report of "vital statistics" on the Trip Scorecard, our nominations for the Best & Worst of the Roadtrip, as well as a rating of the pie we eat as we name the Best Pie in America. If you'd like to see information for a specific state or town, check the Round America Travel Itinerary, and then click on the state of interest and the full itinerary is shown.
Random Comments:
Some folks think we are nuts to take off driving around the country for several months. In honor of those people, we chose April Fool's Day to begin our adventure. Maybe we are crazy, but we are very excited to see so many wonderful sights in this great country that most of us never see. There aren't a lot of people who could or would take off and drive around the country for four months, so we've created and will build this web site to provide a virtual tour for those of you who wish you could do something like this...or those of you who are just curious.
