Friday – Savannah
May 31st, 2010 | Published in Holiday 2010
We had an early lunch at Vic’s on the River – very nice Oysters Rockefeller, and then got on a dolphin watching boat. The boat traveled out through the inshore islands as far as the Georgia Sea Islands, which were a refuge for escaped slaves in the 18th and 19th centuries, and where a largely independent population descended from slaves still lives. They speak a dialect called Gullah. We saw dolphins and lots of pelicans.
In the evening we had dinner at The Olde Pink House, an old mansion house now a restaurant. We had raspberry martinis and champagne.
After dinner we walked down to Forsyth Park in time to see G-Love and Special Sauce play at the SCAD Alumni free concert.
