I am currently in Savannah, Georgia at a system-level coordinators conference for the Georgia Council on Economic Education. My intent was to keep blogging upon returning from Ukraine, but honestly it was totally overwhelming when I returned to school with only 17 days (plus two 1/2 days) remaining in the school year. I hope to get this back going while I'm here and have at least two entries I hope to type tonight.
I've traveled to almost every US state and extensively in the Caribbean & Europe. But, the irony is that I've never really "been" to Savannah. It was always one of those places my parents went to for county commissioners conventions when I was growing up. I did come one time when I was really little, but all I remember is the front of the house of the mother of the woman we were with and being inside some no-frills, very famous seafood house. Then a year or so after finishing college I came to a one night annual meeting in which Lee & I arrived after dark and headed home as soon as the meeting was over Saturday.
We walked down the River Street to the Savannah Candy Kitchen last night and are going walking again soon before meeting a group for dinner this evening. The street was quaint but not what I expected. Of course, I'm not really sure what I did expect.
I'm not driving, but I'm going to ask my travel companions if we can at least drive by Juliette Gordon Lowe's home before leaving tomorrow. To say I've been here, that is one thing I certainly must do.
