Up early, ready for the coffee and newspapers downstairs in the beautifully decorated parlor with its fourteen foot "holiday" tree---hmmm, no menorahs here either. :)
Into the dining room, with a fireplace, quite like the one we had roaring in our room, for a buffet loaded with apple spice bread (NO RAISINS ), fresh fruit, yogurt, fresh orange juice from Florida, and then served a lovely breakfast of eggs benedict (2). I passed on the hot entree and had another piece of that gorgeous apple bread. Tea and coffee to linger over; and then on to the trolley for a tour of Old Savannah. 21 squares later, and a visit to a beautiful Cathedral next door to our Inn, we grabbed a quick bite of homemade tomato soup and shared a turkey sandwich, knowing BBQ was just one meal away !
Walked the citymarket and a couple of more squares to take loads of pictures, AND find the actual synagogue that used to be a church---a lovely place !
Back in time for lemonade and cookies; then a rest and then downstairs for wine and spanikopita and baby quiches (no crab) !
We relaxed in the parlor until it was time for the pedicab (driven by an architect student) to take us to Bistro Savannah for yet another rather upscale BBQ dinner. Mel had a pork short rib bathed in an apple cider reduction BBQ sauce, and a cornbread stuffed apple on the side. Move over stuffin muffins. I gave in and actually had a vegetarian eggplant canneloni with phyllo dough instead of pasta on the outside. We shared some apple sorbet and got the pedicab back just in time for yet another glass of port. Mel is getting used to this port stuff. :) Upstairs, to rest in our six feet off the ground antique bed.
We talk about how we can't wait until morning for breakfast. OY VEY !
