Savannah Day 1


Today was our day to go exploring.  We decided we should probably get some groceries seeing as how our cupboards and pantry were rather bare.  But first things first, we chose to explore River Street.  95 degrees + humidity = really really HOT!



It was amazing.  The river is gorgeous and the cargo ships are huge!  They look like floating buildings they're so big.  We lost track of time amongst all the artwork, tourist, and trying to find best friend bracelets.  We found ourselves starving with no where to go so we went to the same place we did our first night, One Eyed Lizzie's.  The name may sound sketchy but it is by far the best mexican food you will ever taste.  We both got the chicken cordon bleu chimichanga and came to a realization: southern food is the greatest and EVERYTHING is better fried!

After 2 hours of exploring we decided that it was time to stop procrastinating and finally drag ourselves to the grocery store.  With no car or any form of transportation this is quite the endeavor.  We walked the 1.94 miles there and then 1.94 miles back.  Backpacks and hands full of groceries.  It is a lot harder than it sounds.  We never knew that a jug of milk could weigh so much.  Milk, cheese, chicken, bread this list goes on and on but we got the essentials.  It was a learning experience and what did we learn? That:

1) having to walk to a grocery store 1.94 miles away, may in fact be the best diet ever.
2) we are officially on a diet.. only going to the grocery store when the hunger pains hurt worse than the blisters on our feet.

(We got to carry all of that 1.94 miles home)
Moral of the story we now have a half stocked fridge and blisters on the bottom of our feet.
