We put this here for comparison with the real Notre Dame coming up soon. Americans are so wrong about everything. The Cathedral of St John the Babtist is supposed to be similar to Notre Dame de Paris. But it is a basilica. And it is in Georgia.
Jimmy Carter was here.

The Savannah African Art Museum is a gem. Go visit. If you are lucky, you will wrangle a guided tour. Incredible place chock full of stuff you don’t know.

Ah yes, the beach. It was either warm or cold.
But temperature alone is no deterrent. In fact there may not be a deterrent.
This video above should be viewed while humming Bolero.
Of course no side quest to tybee (or not tybee) is complete without a visit to bubba gumbo.
Here you will find a line of locals at happy hour happy to wait for a sticky table and most any kind of fresh deep fried seafood. We taught them to make Zombies, and we bet that next time we go there everyone will be drinking them. Here we met a very dynamic and zany woman (about which more on our next quest to the African Art Museum).

The farm market is fun to visit come a Saturday. And the trees. Walk barefoot on penalty of death by henpeck.

One of the great advantages of knowing April is that she has a bead on the bustling art scene in Savannah. We went to see an opening at Cedar House Gallery before an unbelievable dinner at Elizabeth on 37th.
The opening was packed and fun to wander around in.
But dinner? Out of this world.

DJ Williams Back Home in RVA

Well, not really back home. DJ Williams now lives in Colorado. But his roots are in Richmond.
We went to see DJ perform at Anytime Beer Company. Honestly, though the brewery might be awesome, we’re just not beer people. In fact, before the show was on, we spent some time next door at the Lion’s Den Cigar Bar and had way more fun. But hot damn is DJ Williams excellent and the band is tight.
We were on a secret scouting mission for our up coming 5/25/25 nuptials. So glad he is involved in the plan!
Of course there was xmas music. Obligatory.

I mean, what’s the matter with that?
The parties in RVA were quite fun as was the rest of our visit.
