Savannah in July!

Savannah in July is HOT!  Yep, it is not just hot...it is swealtering hot...sweat running down your face into your eyes like you have been running for an hour hot.  But, we were just walking at a slow pace and finding every shaddy spot to walk in that was not in the path of traffic.  The city of Savannah is a treasure chest of fun things to do, see, and eat!

(date stamp is wrong by the way...ooops...forgot to reset the date)

     We had a wonderful time eating seafood, gelato's, drinking a beer or two, and people watching as well.  All together we walked over 6 miles in a two day period just meandering around the city!
   Friday's are the best for entertainment and food in the Market Square of downtown Savannah.  As we had hoped there was great performer singing the oldies of our youth.  We made our way to the Cafe and found a seat with a breeze to cool us off here and there.  The music along with great food and a Sweetwater 420 was reward enough for the hot walk getting there.  I sat and enjoyed every minute of it all, and watching the people walk by.  Now, anyone who knows me knows I have a bad memory...so, I decided to take notes in my little note pad tool in my phone!  Ha!
   Here is my memory in note pad...Listening to the Who and drinking a Sweetwater 420...ahhh...a breeze...a few more songs...ahh...a breeze....errrk!  Lady on bench on other side of greenery lights up a stinky long cigarette right in the air flow to my nose in that sweet breeze!  Yuck...few minutes later and air clears...Ahhh...cool breeze and I can breath again.  Ok, back on track...listening to music, eating, and cool breeze with a Sweetwater 420...mmm...Life Goes On by John Melancamp...how much better does life get than this!  I want to scream out, "sing on mister" but I knew the 420 was getting to me and sweet hubby would kill over of a heart attack instantly if I did such a thing. 
   Ok, let me set the sceen some more.  There is a man sitting on a stool with a guitar, speakers, great voice...accompanied by an older gentleman who has an electric guitar only it is not pluged to anything and his instrument is not playing (how do I know this?  not my first trip to Savannah) but he is sitting there on his stool acting just like he is part of this great sound and scene! :)  Ok, Savannah is known for it's share of unique people and it is REALLY true! 
    Oh, back to the scene...in the back ground of the singer is a big and long pepto pink fire truck from the top of it's ladders and bumper to bumper PINK...to the guys bunker gear and helmets... raising awareness for breast cancer...and as the singer on the stool starts to sing Joe Cockers song Try a Little Help From My Friends.... Savannahs Ladder truck #5 passes behind the whole thing with the guy in the box on top of the ladders waving his hand!  Try A Little Help From My Friends...how perfect....I love it!  So the night goes on and song after song we sit there waiting on the next breeze and listening to great music...another song by Gordon Lightfoot...what a great night but man is it really Hot in Savannah in July!!!
