One Week In. . . .

Aahhhhhh. Savannah!!! Love that city!!! So much of the downtown has changed, grown and got cleaned up.. . Beautiful. First night in town Kristian took me to a fine dining restaurant 45 Bistro at the Marshall House on Broughton. AMAZING food. We split everything and I let him pick our meal. . . a bunch of firsts for me: Carpaccio Appetizzer (thinly sliced raw beef) with a light sauce, balsamic and basil atop, a Grilled Caesar salad and Veal shank with mashed root vegetables for our main course, followed by one of the most amazing desserts I have ever had- and that says a lot!. Everything was great and I was pretty proud of myself for trying them all. We then met up with Amy, Christian, Whitney at Cirque- a small, old and beautifully crafted bar- and soon to be restaurant.

Wednesday night Amy, Christian and I went to. . . drumroll please. .. . JUAREZ!!! Oh heaven! Margaritas, salsa - and thats really all I have to say about that. We then went to the new rooftop bar on Bay St. / River St. on the top of the 9 story new Hotel called The Bohemian. . . This place was amazing the outside was made with all brick to fit in with Savannah's atmosphere. The interior was the perfect combination of modern with nature. Chandeliers made of of oyster shells, drift wood, hand crafted kayaks, beautiful artwork. The roof top bar had glass garage doors that all open to a balcony that wraps around the whole outside and over looks downtown Savannah and River St. After the rooftop bar we headed over to Smiles, to meet up with Whitney and Aaron and watch a little bit of the dueling pianos. It was a great night.

Yesterday woke up and went for a walk downtown and lunch at Olympia Cafe with Amy and Michelle. . . Yum. A little walk along River St. A stop into Savannah's Candy Kitchen to grab some delicious PRALINES, and I was on my way to Ormond Beach Florida.

All though I was sad to leave Savannah I was excited to see Jamie! Aaaah Florida- 73 and Sunny!! Last night Jamie, her boyfriend Mitch, Rob , Soran and I went to the Ocean Deck Bar, Directly on the Daytona Beach. . . . I just had to do it!- Cartwheel on the beach with the entire bar watching!

Today we had a great lunch at Caffeine in Holly Hill, and then came back to Mitch's place to do some work. Although it just started raining- it is about 75 and most importantly- NOT Snowing!!! Not too happy about the Tornado warning, but the storms ar emoving pretty fast and will be long gone by tomorrow when we are going to see the Zac Brown Band- VIP tickets at Daytona Speedway! Wahooo. .. . I definitely think I will have this perma- grin for the ENTIRE month!
