Slowly I turned. Then step by step. Inch by inch. If you were born in the 70s you may not recognize the classic vaudeville routine about “Niagra Falls.” Unless they re-ran The Three Stooges in your area. Anyway, for the purpose of this Blog – slowly we drove. Made it to St. Augustine at 6 p.m. by way of a stop in Savannah prowling through antique stores.
Another slow day tomorrow, driving a total of four hours to Stuart, Florida, and then to the Crown Princess on Saturday. That way my assistant driver won’t get too worn out, seeing as how she’s been “under house arrest” for 7 weeks.
We visited Wright Square in Savannah. There is a monument in the Square dedicated to Tomo-Chi-Chi, a member of the Creek Indian Nation who helped Oglethorpe in the founding of Georgia. Together they helped repel a Spanish invasion (I am tempted here to make a politically incorrect comment about the current illegal Spanish invasion, but I will resist).
We also visited Lutheran Church of the Ascension. The sanctuary is on the second floor and has a beautiful stained glass window of ... wait for it ... the Ascension.
One exciting event to report. While we were finishing up our supper at Ihop, a customer ordered a to go order and a to eat now order. When he finished the to eat now order, he picked up the to go order and dashed out the door, hopping out of Ihop with our waitress chasing him. How rude! We were left waiting for our bill while she proved she was as bad at running as she was at waitressing (my pot roast sandwich came out as a turkey sandwich and my fruit cup was not delivered at all – your humble scribe did point out both mistakes which were corrected).
For dessert, we went to the Dooney & Burke outlet store, where Bonnie added to her collection. She said, very sincerely, "This will be my prize for this trip." And she knows I'll forget by tomorrow. Smart!
Well, to bed to bed said sleepy head!
