Feed The Muse – Savannah

This past weekend I had the opportunity to go to Savannah with some fellow romance authors for a weekend retreat for fun in the sun and feeding our muse.



From the minute the car hit the historic district my imagination went into overdrive. Savannah is by far one of my favorite southern cities for getting into a paranormal state of mind. The area is so rich in history and architecture it's hard not to think of ghosts, vampres and so much more.


As soon as we parked our luggage in the hotel we were off to explore the River Walk where we enjoyed a fantastic tour aboard the tall ship The Peacemaker. Somehow I managed to not get a picture of the whole boat so you can click on the link to see it. While I probably should have been thinking of pirates on the high sea, I was instead thinking of Captain Ron and drinking some rum. LOL


That first evening we also opted for a ghost tour where the tour guide filled our heads with so much legend and lore that we thought of little else than ghosts and ghouls the rest of the night.


They even took us inside of an abandoned chandlery where we were regaled with tales of witches and I swear something touched my leg in the dark more than once. :)


We laughed and groaned through some really bad karaoke at the restaurant that night before we gave into the heat and headed for bed.


The next morning I marked up the map and we headed out to explore the many sites Savannah has to offer. Particularly the gorgeous and old architecture. Then a quick photo shoot in the cemetary. By this time I think we we're starting to melt. (who knew Savannah would be mid 90s in May?) Shaved Ice to the rescue before we continued our trek.


I loved walking through the city and simply enjoying the sights. I've got lots of pictures to post on my walls to keep the trip fresh while I plot new stories. We saw no fewer than three weddings going on that weekend, reminding us just how romantic Savannah can be.


Before we knew it was time to head back. Our heads full of ideas and our bodies ready for rest. Now all I ask is… When can we do it again?


And to show you what a goof I am, here's a couple of pics I couldn't pass up.
