when i got to savannah (i must go on record to say that i did not get lost going there), the boo hag and i jumped in her car and went in search of good eats.
before i got there, i called her when i was close and asked about eating, telling her i was craving a salad. i mentioned that ruby tuesday’s has a great salad and she nearly bit my head off. YOU CAN’T COME TO SAVANNAH AND EAT AT RUBY TUESDAYS she hollered in my ear.
(this is a bad habit of mine, eating at chain restaurants when i go to a place that has distinctively great food. i have another tale involving this bad habit of mine while in disney world, i will share more on that in another post.)
after we got the good eats, we walked for the next maybe 4 hours, in and out of festive peeps all wearing green. i wasn’t wearing green. i have green clothes. i have clothes that have dublin on them. i just wasn’t wearing them.
lucky for us, some folks walking around dressed as captain morgan (the liquor) and his wenches gave us green beads. boo hag was wearing green but it is quite possible we could’ve gotten mauled b/c i wasn’t wearing green. evidently, st. patrick’s day is big in savannah (whoda thunk it?)
i am still laughing about seeing all the “sideways” walking people. you know how when you get SO VERY DRUNK that you have to lean over in a certain direction or else you’ll fall over? i filmed a guy walking like this and it is providing me endless entertainment. i can laugh at people like that since i used to be one, albeit 16 years ago but i quite remember the misery and shame of walking sideways and public puking.
we walked all over the place, people watching and laughing, me acting just like a tourist and taking a million photos, and having very divine chocolates. there are, many dead people there on account of all the cemeteries to prove it and i just love dead people and the places they live (cemeteries).
about 7ish pm we went back to the car then back to boo hag’s house to freshen up before our 9pm hearse tour.
having picked up lots of “energy”, i summed up my walking tour with this statement, “savannah has something quite sinister lurking about”.

Joanne and I nearly took a vacay to Savannah a couple years ago. We aborted the mission and went to Hawaii instead. I still want to go to Savannah, though. It is just as bad as wanting to eat at Ruby Tuesday’s that I want to eat at Paula Deen’s restaurant?

Also, if I did go, are you the kind of crazed stalker who would kidnap me and lock me in your basement, or are you the kind who would meet me for drinks but not follow me back to my hotel?

Oops, I mean coffee

pm: i probably would have gone to hawaii too. you can still have drinks even tho i’ll have coffee (or soda), and i can assure you that i am the perfect stalker. meaning, i wouldn’t lock you in my basement or any other weird stalker stuff like that.
i too want to go to paula deen’s restaurant which the boo hag tells me there is always a line out the door. i think it isn’t the same as my ruby-tuesdays-salad-wanting wish.

I finally got here and I LOVE this post. Was worth the wait and now I can’t wait to read the rest.
Oh yeah, when you come, we’re going to Ruby Tuesdays (I LOVE that place) unless we go to Appleby’s for the Pecan Crusted Chicken Salad~ if I got the name right~ with Raspberry Dressing that makes me drool…
Sounds like you had a blast so far.
