Historic Savannah

Hola,

I have had requests for a new blog recently. I have been meaning to do some but my laptop has decided to die. ITS THE ULTIMATE BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH!!! But never fear, new blog is here.

Here are my adventures of last weekend.

RIVER STREET!!!

River street is on a awesome street (well duh) with shops on one side and....well what else...a river on the other. I took this adventure with my brothers girlfriend Megan, who says I am weird because I dont ask for sweet tea at every restaurant we go to, but thats besides the point. The first thing Megan showed me was this one spot right on the street which if you stand right in the middle of it you can talk and no one can hear you but your voice echoes around you. Dont believe me?!?!? Yea, well I didnt believe her until I tried it. I honestly dont understand how it even happens but its so weird. Here is a picture of it.

The shops were really cool to walk into but nothing you wouldnt find in an old city.

One of the other things we did was walk through the colonial cemetery. It had people buried from the American Revolution. A signer of the Declaration of Independence was buried there. Many of the headstones were unreadable because of how old they were. I think of one of the coolest thing about the cemetery was "the wall of headstones."  During the Civil War the cemetery was destroyed and the headstones were destroyed. Well during the reconstruction they took some of the headstones that were partly entacted and put them all against a stone wall. They couldnt replace the headstones because they were not sure of its original place.

So as of right now, Savannah is a really cool place. Tomorrow I am going to a First Fridays sort of thing but its on Saturdays. Also because of the superbowl all museums are free this Sunday, so I will definately attempt to hit up all of them....well as long as I am home in time for Glee (shout out to my roomies <3)

I dont think I have accomplished any of my goals yet but its only been a week and five days. My brothers girlfriend, who I have enlisted as my new friend if she likes it or not, says she has a camouflage shirt she can give me so I may be able to cross off one thing.

I hope to keep my posts more frequent!!!

love love love,
Liz
