Yearning for Savannah, GA
Today my yearning for Savannah became pretty intense. I started looking for photos I'd taken from previous trips there. I was disappointed in what I found. I'm not sure if I just haven't looked in the right place, or if I didn't take that many pictures when I was there before. I know my interest in photography has definitely changed over the years. And I haven't been to Savannah since 2007. Then I started trying to remember when I got my first digital camera. And I'm not sure of the answer to that question! Oh, well.
I started making a mental list of the places I want to visit and the restaurants I want to eat at while I'm there next month. I decided to put "pen to paper", so here's the start of my list:
I'm going with several friends who've never visited Savannah as other than a quick trip for work where there was really no time to see the city. There are a few places I'm going to run by them that I think they might be interested in that I've already seen before, but would be amenable to going back:
Starting with a Trolley Tour might be a good idea. It's been years since I've done one, so it'll be like a brand new experience/adventure!

- Six Pence Pub
- Gryphon Tea Room
- Wright Square Cafe
- Simply Irresistible (home decor and unique gifts!)
- Forsyth Park
- Leopold's Ice Cream

- Owens-Thomas House
- Isaiah Davenport House
- Mercer House
- River Street (personally I find it too touristy, but I recommend a walk through at a minimum for first time visitors)
- Old Pinke House
- Elizabeth's on 37th
- Ghost Tour
- Trolley Tour
- Juliette Gordon Lowe House
