Tybee Day 3/4 - Savannah

Yesterday was such a busy day that I didn't have time to write a post, so here's a combined one for today as well. 

We headed into Savannah bright and early yesterday to explore the city. Maddie, Margaret, and I started our morning off in a coffee shop run by SCAD, the Savannah College of Art and Design. We spent some time crying over art supplies and browsing books. After that, we walked down one of the main streets of Savannah and checked out a lot of stores. 

Once we were done, it was time to meet up with Dr. Bob and the rest of the group at one of the cemeteries in the city. We wandered and contemplated for a while before heading to Clary's for lunch. They had awesome food. Afterwards, we went as a group to Mercer House and took the tour. The house was really amazing and the interior was decorated in an interesting manner. The house used to be owned by Jim Williams, a key character in "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" by John Berendt. Maddie, Margaret, and I spent our last hour wandering the streets and checking out some antique stores. 

Since it was so cold (for Georgia), we had a lot of free time today. We met for morning class where we had a few fishbowl conferences about our beach walk papers. Maddie, Margaret, and I spent some time after lunch at the library, where I worked on fleshing out my paper. After dinner, we all watched the movie adaption of "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil." I really enjoyed the movie and am excited to eventually read the book.

Tomorrow everyone is getting up bright and early because Dr. Bob is taking us out for breakfast. 

Stay classy,

Brittney
