After bidding farewell to my week-long traveling chum, Jackie, in Amelia Island, it was time to point VanGo toward home. I'd heard of Tybee Island, Georgia, and wanted to visit it on the way. Turns out it was spring break, and it seems every east coast college age person decided to go to Tybee this spring. It was packed!! Sweet though it was, I gave it a look and decided to head on to less crowded pastures, or so I thought. I had never explored Savannah and thought this particular Saturday afternoon would be just the time to do it. Little did I know the annual 10-day Savannah Music Festival was in full swing. Those who weren't on Tybee were in Savannah!
What a wonderful town it is. I've read it has the largest historic downtown of any city in America. The cobbled River Street is fun, though tricky, to meander through; Bay Street is abuzz with action, and the City Market spans several blocks, similar to the pedestrian malls in Burlington and Boulder. It was an added treat to have the Music Festival going on. I even managed to score a ticket to one of the events. Well worth the two day visit.

River Street - the river walk is brick, the street is cobbled |

Savannah's own VanGo - Vinnie VanGoGo... think we're related?
