Glorious Savannah!

I was so tired that I never moved all night in my bed - woke up in the same position that I started in!!  And even with the time change I woke up about the same time that I do at home!

Patty had researched a cute coffee place that was only 3 blocks from our cottage so we headed there and loved it so much that we ate breakfast and had coffee there every day!!  The place was called The Mate Factor and the people there were so friendly!

 There was a loft area that we headed to after ordering and that became OUR table for the next 3 days!  They served a couple of breakfast sandwiches which were delicious and I ordered "Mayan Mocha" coffee - it was delicious!

 The bakery section looked fantastic so after the first day, we would order one sandwich and split it 3 ways and then split a muffin - my favorite was the blueberry - gosh, it was tasty!!

 On our walk each day, we passed this house and I loved it!!

 Our first tour that we had booked was the cemetery tour sponsored by Dash Tours - it's called Dash Tours because they inform you what is BETWEEN the dashes (in the cemetery, the stories about peoples' lives)  Our tour guide was Timothy and we were picked up in a van and taken out to the Bonaventure Cemetery.  It was a 2 hour tour and we learned so much about many of the people buried out there..................  The cemetery was gorgeous as you'll see from the pictures - love that Spanish moss hanging down!!

 Of course I've forgotten most of the things he told us but all of the stories were so interesting!!  Johnny Mercer, the composer, (Moon River was one of his pieces) is buried out here and all of the gravestones around him of family all had a line from one of his songs!

It was a fantastic tour and highly recommended if you ever go to Savannah!

We were dropped off at "City Market" which is a huge place with lots of shops, eating places and live music playing - right down our alley!!  Lunch was at Goosefeathers which was highly recommended and it didn't disappoint!!  To Be Cont'd.......................
