Savannah: Boats, Beauty, and Best BBQ

After spending the night at the very nice Quality Inn in Emporia, Virginia, we were on the road before 8:00 AM. We always stop at the very friendly welcome centers which push the high points of their states. North Carolina has soft chairs around a fire place where you can mull over their display of North Carolinian literature. All the selections were interesting. An example Blood and War at my Doorstep: North Carolina Civilians in the War between the States by Brenda Chambers McKean would undoubtedly pique our sympathies for the Confederates who suffered immeasurably during the Civil War.

I always love the Georgia Welcome Center which greets you with their sign "We're happy you have Georgia on your mind". We picked up a discount coupon for the luxurious Inn at Ellis Square in downtown Savannah.

We're back to Wiley's in Savannah eating the finest barbecue. Championship pulled pork, delicious sweet potato casserole and healthy green beans.

Wiley's Championship BBQ

An afternoon of walking on the river front watching the tugs and huge ships plus a walk through the many plazas, including of course the plaza in honor of General Nathaniel Greene who lived and died in Savannah after the Revolutionary War.
