Savannah Day 2

Yesterday we explored the historic district of Savannah.  Today, we spent time in the more contemporary Uptown section, where the buildings look like this:

Josh wanted to sleep in a bit, so I started the day at The Coffee Fox, a funky coffee shop.  The super-chill baristas there introduced me to horchata for the first time.  I had heard of horchata before, but wasn't really sure what it was, since I had only heard about it from that song by Vampire Weekend, and a scene from an episode of American Dad (If you've seen it, you know what I'm talking about.  If you haven't seen it, there's no reason to see it so don't even go looking for "horchata scene American Dad" on Youtube to try to figure out what I'm talking about because I already did and I couldn't find it, but also it's totally gross so don't).  Anyway, bottom line: horchata is delicious.
I had read online that the Paris Market & Brocante was a must-see.  It definitely did not disappoint. I studied abroad in Paris when I was in college, so I have a soft spot in my heart for anything Paris-related.

Treat yo'self

I noticed a lot of cool and artsy chalkboard signs outside of the boutiques.  This area is about a 5-10-minute walk from the Savannah College of Art and Design, so I bet a lot of the students work here.

This one spoke to me on a personal level.

After shopping, we headed to the City Market for some good ol'-fashioned Georgia peach... sangria?

And then back to Miss Tilly to pack up and head out of town.  I thought I was just getting a cute picture of Josh on our way out, but as a bonus, you can also see the guy behind him spitting into the street.

Moment: captured.

We drove for several hours and got almost down to the Florida-Georgia border this evening. We're staying in a Walmart parking lot tonight.  Someone in another car is blaring "Bottoms Up" by Brantley Gilbert at 100% volume and there is definitely a drag race going on. We are so not in Boston anymore.
