Our day in savannah

We spent the day touring the city's historic district. Lunch at a pizza restaurant in Savannah's equivalent of the NOLA french market called Vinny VanGoGo's. It's no Mother's, but very good. Then more walking and riding.

We're back at the Best Western planning tomorrow's route, which should take us as far as Roanoke Rapids, NC or Emporia, VA. Lots of miles with a mixture of I95 and rural route I301. Before there was a route 95, 302 was the big north-south road. We like to travel the old roads although it can be sad looking at all the bypassed 1950's motels and roadside attractions.

Another reason for the melancholy mood is that tomorrow's ride will be the start of the "going home" leg of the trip. What saves it is the fact that it's so darn much fun to travel this way. We recommend it!

Here are a couple pictures from today's sightseeing.
