Two Hundred and Thirty Nine

After today's game Kyle and I decide to branch out and explore a little. I was ready for a new scene after getting settled in our new place, Kyle was mostly ready for food...and ghosts!

The wonderful thing about being in Savannah is, really, being in Savannah. Living in civilization again, with perks like coffee, yoga, fro yo, and most importantly, Groupon. Yesterday, I found a "Savannah Ghost Tour," deal lead by a renowned ghoul investigator and tale collector. He's even published his interviews and stories in a popular book amongst the chasers of poltergeists'.

First things first, we enjoyed a fine meal of appetizers (we just couldn't decide) at our new favorite restaurant, Cotton Exchange. On the menu for tonight: alligator tail, crab stuffed mushrooms and Savannah's most popular crab dip. NUM! It was the first time eating alligator for the both of us. And it does taste like chicken! But better.

Afterwards we moseyed down river street enjoying the sunset and taking in the creations of local artists. Once the night began to settle we quickly made our way to Wright Square for the beginning of our haunted tour. The historic district of Savannah is very different from Las Vegas, but they' do have one thing in common. Open containers on the street are allowed; only plastic cups. One of our first stops was to a haunted bar where everyone grabbed a cup. We continued on to several squares, a slave quarters, a quarantined hospital and two grace yards. All dating back to the 18th and 19th century. The guide shared tales and true accounts of ghostly presences and happenings along the way. It was a ghastly good blast!
