Checking out the city of Savannah was on our agenda for today! We stopped at the visitor center for a map and some info. We really enjoyed walking around this city - lots of very old, huge historical houses, beautiful trees with Spanish moss hanging from them, and shops and restaurants galore! We walked through the City Market area, River Street (riverwalk), and then W. Broughton Street.
Along our journey we found a chocolate shop we definitely wanted to come back to and also we had heard about a famous ice cream shop that had been around since 1919 that we just couldn't miss. We decided to just eat something small so we found a place called Goosefeathers - Doug and I split a chicken salad sandwich and Katelyn got a black bean burrito that was not so small :).
Back to Chocolat by Adam Turoni - I've never seen a shop like this before! There were four cases of amazing chocolates. You pick up a silver tray and then put on the chocolates you'd like to buy (using tongs of course). Then they have a bar you can sit at to indulge in some of the best tasting chocolate ever! My favorite was a dark chocolate with a honey filling (from bees right in Savannah). We struck up a conversation with Adam Turoni himself and ending up getting to try one of his new chocolates which also was a dark chocolate with honey filling, but this one had honey from bees that fed on wildflowers. So delicious!
Then next we headed to Leopold's for ice cream. We were raking in the calories today!! Very good ice cream - Katelyn had peppermint, Doug had coffee and mint chip, and I had mint chip.
We headed back to the campground pretty stuffed! We swam in the pool and ended our night with a game of Scrabble Slam.
