Adieux Savannah 2025

Soon we'll be traveling on to some time at the beach.  I always experience Savanah as a 'heart home' and it never feels too long to 'live' here in our Winter travel. The familiar always reveals a touch of the new, another facet discovered. And there is always something fresh to find as well.  This year some favorite restaurants were gone; a art gallery we always enjoyed is now an event space and the shows at the major museums were in transition, so we saw less, but at least without an admission cost. And then there was snow!! A unique visit in many ways.  I hope you've enjoyed these 'postcards' from Savannah.


Frieze is a favorite shop of ours and as it says, it always has some treasures to look at in it's gallery-like setting. I always find a little treasure here.  The stylish gentleman is a nod to the most gracious owner, more like a host, of Firenze and yes, some of the objects are from the shop.

Quinn's Breakfast and Lunch is another favorite; breakfast with that diner feel.  It gets a nice local crowd, as well as travelers who find it.  One day we sat in a booth near the kitchen and I was able to get the shot of the cooks at work.  And although I would indeed add a giant flamingo and lush flowers to the background, they are actually part of a mural wall in the restaurant.

Gingerbread House, as I call it, caught my eye with its detailed scalloped shingles. The day I photographed it, the sun was just at an angle to make the house a brilliant white. Cherry cheesecake seemed the perfect highlight.

Thank you for traveling with me.

Till another time.
