Lu had it on her mind to do laundry in the trailer today…
Don’t know why, since she could’ve used the Laundromat in the Park, but “Mine is not to reason why; Mine is to do or die,” as somebody once said…
Anyway, we had a fairly uneventful morning, and were ready for some serious fun in town this evening.
When we first arrived here, we found out that this one restaurant had “Po’Boys,” and we were determined to have that for dinner Halloween Night… Especially after we were told they were as good as the ones in New Orleans…
For those who don’t know what a “Po’Boy“ is… Well, they’re “sandwiches” (or should I say Big Hot Dog Buns (if I knew how to spell “Hoagy Buns,” I would’ve called it that), stuffed with oysters, or shrimp, or other “goodies“ (all kinds of fish, for instance), and garnished with lettuce, tomatoes, and other ingredients… And the coup d’état: Some kind of “Cajun” sauce, which has imprinted itself on my mind ever since we had them in New Orleans, in 2000…
I know my description doesn’t measure up to the taste here, but suffice it to say, Luanne loves her oyster, and I love my shrimp “Po’Boy.”
So… We spent the morning just waiting (or should I say drooling) for the evening to arrive…
Couldn’t wait that long, of course (we can hardly wait any length of time for anything, truth be told), and left about 3:00…
Just to make the “evening” go a little faster, we let “Jack” steer us to a Walmart, located South of Savannah… He’s still not speaking to us, but he managed to get us there without any fuss (maybe because we programmed an actual address in, who knows? Sure wish he‘d get over that laryngitis, though)…
Got a case of bottled water (the RV Parks’ supply doesn’t taste good), then spent some time around the streets of Savannah trying to find a parking spot…
Not successful…
We ended up in a parking garage, and found (to our surprise) that it was only three bucks, after 5:00 on Fridays, and all weekend long… Pretty good!).
While walking down to the Waterfront, we called Luanne’s sister to gloat about the weather (86 degrees, and sunny skies… 56 in Seattle, and cloudy… Ahhh.. Chucks!), and they ended up talking for as long as it took us to get down to River Street, and take a leisurely tour of that big sailing vessel tied to the dock…
Must‘ve had a lot to talk about…
We stopped and had a drink at the “joint” we were going to have dinner (making sure they weren’t going to run out of either oysters or shrimp), then started a long stroll up and down just about every avenue in Savannah proper…
It’s a very neat town, with all kinds of Public Squares (shaded by Spanish Moss-covered Oaks), incredible mansions, and a Public Market that’s to die for, and, of course, the Waterfront…
But (I’m almost afraid to say), Luanne and I both feel that Charleston is “one up” on Savannah…
Haven’t figured out why that is, but there you have it… Just a feeling, I guess…
So… Stepping gingerly away from that subject…
Somehow, we stumbled onto the “Red Carpet” treatment for The Savannah Film Festival…
Stopped right in front of the ”Media Center” (where all the interviews were going to take place), and stepped on a few paparazzi toes as “celebrities” showed up… Lots of fun!
In reality, Luanne and I only knew (of) Woody Heraldson, whom I got a few shots of, as he stood a few feet from us, but we heard this couple next to us exclaiming, “There’s So and So,” so, I suppose, there were other known personalities present… We just didn’t recognize any…
After gawking for so long, I finally had to tear Luanne away from there without seeing Robert Redford, whom we’d hoped would show up, but no such luck this time…
We took a leisurely walk over to The Public Market…
Stopped here and there to look at art (and all kinds of junk); had a drink at “Jen’s and Friends,” and, finally, ended up at Huey’s for our encounter with two Po’Boys…
Very good, but, unfortunately, no cigar… The Cajun sauce was missing… Guess we have to go to New Orleans for the “Real Thing.”
We did another lap around the Waterfront, then decided we’d had enough… Time to head home and let the Younger Set have their merrymaking…
We’re not much into Halloween these days…
Used to be fun when the kids were kids, but now… Not so much… Getting old, I guess…
Anyway, we made it home without any mishap…
Lu went to bed, and here I am again: Hunting and pecking my way around the keyboard (should’ve taken typing!)
That’s it… Finished with another segment…
Take care, and look out for some more tomorrow…… Maybe?
