My friend Barbara and I spent several days in Savannah, Georgia

on our way home from the road trip to teach in Florida.

We stayed at the Mulberry hotel. It was very old and quaint.

We walked around the entire city and ate at some really good restaurants.

The first meal was lunch at Mrs.. Wilkes’ Dining room.

There was a line to get in and the seating is common table for ten.

We sat with two ladies from Alabama and 5 students from Penn State.

This was their first taste of truly Southern Food.

The tables were brimming with wonderful things to eat.

Fried chicken, barbeque pork, chicken and dumplings, okra,

beans, grits, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, greens, etc. etc.

It was all wonderful.

There was ispiration for quilting designs everywhere we looked. This is the ironwork on a window.

An opening filled with iron work under a staircase.

A beautiful planting in one of the squares.

I will show you more of our stay in the days to come.
