We arrived in Savannah yesterday afternoon. What a nice city to visit. Especially when it is warm and Boston is getting more snow. We walked along the river front and their famous River Street. Savannah has much historical significance. I paid homage at the General Nathaniel Greene's monument. Although born in Rhode Island, General Greene retired near Savannah where he is among their favorite sons.
There is also an interesting monument to Savannah's Waving Girl, Florence Martus who became famous because she greeted ships going in and out of Savannah by waving a white handkerchief. See more.
Food in Savannah is really good. We always having a hard time choosing where to eat. This time we opted for surprisingly small hole-in-the-wall Wiley's BBQ, a ten-minute drive from downtown. This place is worth the two-day trip. They serve competition-quality ribs, pulled pork and brisket. We have never had anything so good in a restaurant! Looks like we will be back in Savannah on the way back.
Off to see more of Savannah and on to Florida where it is really warm.
