PFV Day 3: Savannah, Ga (Part 1)


The day began at 6am, as the sun floated gently above the horizon... for me. For everyone else it started periodically later, but eventually (at 10am) we set out for Old Town Savannah:


 Savannah is one of the most beautiful places i've ever been in my life, also it has delicious food, also it's hot as hell. The first place we came across was Colonial Memorial Park (cemetery).


Proved. It was filled with a ton of old mausoleums and tombs and stuff, cool. 


And all the trees were covered with Spanish Moss (La-da-DA-dA...)  Anyway Nanc "found" some when she "accidentally" grabbed some on a tree and it broke off. 


 But she decided it wasn't long enough, and through it away, to which Phil said, "Sorry Lauren, there goes your Christmas present."

Brick Roads!


 Posing!


 Jealous:


 Stairs!

And then we almost had the Pappas Family Massacre.  Seriously tensions were rising, it was fucking hot out, and we were at a point where we were about to all destroy each other...

But hey, there's nothing some Sweet Tea and Beignets can't fix.



With praline sauce:

I mean look at that shit! So then Nanc was like, "We've got Cold Cuts, if you guys want to skip dinner." And Danielle was like, "Are you Fucking kidding me? The food down here is the best on earth. I'll go back to Sweet Potatoes alone if i have to." You won't Danielle, you won't. Also we're going to this totally awesome place down by the river (it's not a van) so no worries. 

Then we found this totally awesome sweet shop, czech out these awesome coconut cupcakes!


 Bazzongas!!!!
(I showed this picture to Phil and he was like, Who's she... that?"

Ok, so i have this bottle opener my mom got me from Canada, or something. We call it the 'Bear Dildo' because basically it looks like a black bear, then whittles it's way down to a... well the name says it all. But i just found it's cousin:


Ha! Brown Bear Sling Shot Dildo!

If there is a city that has upped it's tourist population more off the production of a single book then Savannah, i don't know it. That book, of course, is Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, an absolutely awesome book but really Savannah, you stand just fine alone. Cut the merchandising.

That being said, we went to the "Garden of Good and Evil," which is actually Bonaventure Memorial Park (cemetery) to look for the statue (we've been spending a lot of our time in cemeteries today). After about 20min of aimlessly driving around Danielle discovered via IPhone that the infamous statue on the cover of the book is no longer in the cemetery, but in a museum in town. Still this place is beautiful. So we decided to walk around a ton.  


Sooooo awesome. Then after a while Phil and i lost everyone (he was sticking close to me because i had the car keys/he's afraid of cemetarys). But Danielle immediately appeared from the mist, so we decided to play man-hunt with Nanc (or mom-hunt, as Phil titled it).


Nope, but that is her last name (creepy)...






sittin' and hope'n, and think'n, and pray'n...





Found her! Gotcha Nanc.

So we all piled into the car and headed back to the hotel, for intermission...
