So we got into Savannah last night in the rain, and we had a very kind one-armed cabby who gave us a brief history lesson and a reduced fare due to getting slightly lost.

We arrived at our hostel which is a lovely huge home and is very different than the hostel in Charleston. This hostel, like Savannah, feels empty. Liz and I are in a room with 3 bunk beds - one for her, one for me and one for our stuff...so it works. It is kind of disappointing that more people aren't staying here since we had met some great and interesting people in our last hostel. (hey Allison and Colorado crew!)

We explored Savannah today which started with an aimless walk to figure out the city, a yummy breakfast and flipping through the local paper with events and picking things that were interesting.

We went to the main art museum which was not huge but really nice (see picture of modern entry way below).

The rest of the day was spent drinking. Coffees in a quaint coffee shop with a delicious cheese board and some pints at a local brewery.

We actually found ourselves in a church to round out the evening. Yes, you heard me right, these two half-Jews went to church in Georgia. There was a Gregorian choir chanting thing going on which was really beautiful and we stayed for the sermon which was all about "journeys" and "different paths" which was very fitting...so it was actually really moving and nice.

Tomorrow we hope to explore the nature aide of Savannah with the sun high in the sky and weather in the 60s! We will see what that looks like in morning ;)

We are also thinking of heading to DC on our way back to Boston since we have never been! Hopefully that timing works out in the next day or two!

Keep y'all posted!

Cheers,
Esther
