This was a short drive to Savannah. I got checked into the hotel only to find out their elevator was out of service and they didn’t have any more ground floor rooms…..Damn!
At least it turned out to be a decent, though somewhat threadbare and worn out, room. A couch to plop down on and watch the NCAA tournament.
Even though I’ve wanted to go to Savannah for a long time I decided to stay close to the hotel that evening. In hindsight I missed on on being downtown on a Saturday night! Bonehead…
The next day I made up for that poor decision. I ordered up an Uber and off to the historic downtown I went.
I started off with breakfast….shrimp & grits! Anita couldn’t believe I’d start my day off that way. It was yummy.

The street the restaurant faced was closed to traffic, so it was fun to people watch.

A short walk down the road brought me to Franklin Square. It honors Benjamin Franklin and is one of 22 squares located in the historic section of Savannah. One day I’ll come back and visit them all.

Caught another Uber to a BBQ place called Munchies. This was my first true bbq joint. Their sauce was mustard based and was fantastic. Personally I prefer my ribs falling off the bone but these had a good bite to them…did I mention how good the sauce was?
I wrapped up Sunday evening watching the NCAA tournament. All in all a nice day.
