Savannah, GA


Savannah is an old, beautiful city with south charm!  I see why General Sherman offered it as a gift to President Lincoln instead of burning it down like he did all the others.  Like in Charleston we did a city tour that was very informative to the different areas, buildings and people who created Savannah.  While we were in the area we also had the chance to see the Wormslow Historic Site, Bonaventure Cemetery, and the Tybee Island Light Station and Museum too.
Since I must visit an interesting eating establishment when I am traveling I have to tell our about the food and wine at 39 Rue de Jean.  This is the sister restaurant to the original in Charleston.  It just opened 2 months ago but the interior was left in the old brick style of the city so, while it was a new building, it blended in with its surroundings.  They have a great “by the glass” wine list with the usual expected wines but several unknown and hard to find wines for people to try too.  We ordered the Steamed Mussels to start and shared the Braised Rabbit and Coq au Vin.  Wonderful food and wine. Make your reservation when you are in Savannah.  You will not be disappointed!!!  Buon Appitito!
