Leaving SC and a Night Walk in Savannah

2/15/2014 – Of course the weather was improving by the time I left Garden City Beach, but I really did enjoy the quiet week and great food. On the way to Savannah I stopped in Charleston just to have lunch and a quick look around. I slipped into The Cru Café just in time-just after I was served, no more seats without a reservation. If you ever get to Charleston, this is a must stop. I dove into the carrot coconut ginger soup and followed with a fried oyster wrap, my third serving of oysters in three days. I’m pretty sure they were responsible for curing a cold that had just started. Unfortunately, my extended lunch in the city and leaving SC a little late lost me a chance to see the Preston Center outside of Beaufort, a former college and Gullah-Gechee interpretive museum. I had hoped to learn a little about these people. I don’t know enough even to comment here.

I chose Savannah as my next stop for a few reasons-I had never been here, a short passage from Jimmy Buffet’s “Where’s Joe Merchant” book, a tedious movie with lots of great scenery (Midnight in the garden of Good and Evil-locals say I should read the book), and to visit Nathanael Greene’s grave. When I got to Savannah, I had one thing in mind-no, not food. I managed to find my way into the historic district, got taken for a $10 parking spot, and took a short walk to honor my hero Greene. More on him later, but he moved to Georgia and died near Savannah. After a burial in Colonial Cemetery, his remains were reinterred under his monument in Johnson Square, which starts Savannah’s Monument Row on Bull St. I took a quick walk around and made a plan for the next day.
