Tybee Day 5/6 - The Crab Shack and Bonaventure Cemetery

We've been back to our regular and busy schedule so here's a post to catch you up on the last two days. 

Yesterday Dr. Bob didn't show up until 11 am and we didn't meet for class. I took that opportunity to catch up on sleep. After Dr. Bob arrived, we all piled into the vans to explore some of the small shops around Tybee Island. There were some very interesting stores with local art and products. 

Once everyone was hungry, we headed over to The Crab Shack, also located on Tybee. It was a very interesting place filled with gators, cats, and excellent food. I've never been a big sea food eater, so I was glad Dr. Bob ordered a sampler plate. I nibbled on some shrimp and crab legs, which I enjoyed a lot. After the food, we went into the gift shack were I found an awesome shirt that I purchased. There was also a section devoted to birds, one of which would dance if you sang "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean" to it. Of course we all gathered around to watch as Dr. Bob serenaded the bird and it did indeed bob it's head to the music. 

The rest of the night was spent cooking, giving and receiving conferences, working on my paper, and celebrating Connor Swanson's birthday. 

Today we went back into Savannah. First, we stopped at the Bonaventure Cemetery. It's the sight where Johnny Mercer and Conrad Aiken are buried. We spent about 30 minutes walking around and exploring the Cemetery. Then we went back to the historical downtown to one of Paula Deen's restaurants, where we ate lunch. It was a lot of very good food. The rest of the time Margaret, Maddie, and I walked around the River District and checked out shops. 

I can't believe we leave in two days. Tomorrow looks to be the warmest day yet, so I'm hoping to get to the beach to hang out and maybe brave the water. Hopefully the weather holds out!

Stay classy,

Brittney
