Mary Ann made a great breakfast. Terry paid me $5 to ask for eggs and bacon and he knew Mary Ann couldn’t turn me down.
Terry knew I was interested in history (he often gives historical lectures of the area) and he showed me some early American documents and realia of some of his ancestors.
After breakfast, we headed to Honeyhorn, a former plantation that is now an historical museum and grounds. Terry is a docent and has been involved with Honeyhorn for years. It’s a great place and is really kid friendly to teach local history and nature. They have a stable and pasture on the grounds where they have a marsh tackie, a specific breed of horse for the lowlands and swamps of South Carolina and used by the Gullah community as work horses, but also by Francis Marion (the Swamp Fox) of revolutionary war fame.
They have a butterfly house and what I really like about it is they have local butterflies of the area so people can see there what may be found in their yard. They also have a native plant area as well as an area of crops typical of the Gullah community, particularly, the variety of cotton they grew. This is a real educational gem.
We then headed to the Westin on Hilton Head Island and had a very good lunch by the pool (and beach).
I really enjoyed seeing Mary Ann and Terry again after so long from the French Waterways tour of Bourgogne. They are perfect hosts and it seemed like we picked up right after we said goodbye in Paris in 2012.

It was about a 38 minute drive to Savannah. The guest house where I am staying is on Hull Street and is called the Foley House. It’s pretty much city center and it very nicely done. Chuck, the host, originally owned was is now know as the Key West Inn and we reminisced about Key West. I was upgraded to a really nice room with a king bed and sitting area and a walk in shower.
They have desert from 3-5, wine and hors d’oeuvres from 6-7:30 and a full, sit down, order from the menu breakfast.
I walked around downtown Savannah, had wine and hors d’oeuvres and then headed to the Public Kitchen and Bar recommended by Chuck. The martinis were great and so was the Caesar salad and bison burger.
I intend to get and early start tomorrow for home. I’ll have a few days there and then will start a Smokies hike on Monday.
Sorry we were not able to greet you in Hilton Head (we loved our trip to Sonoma and San Francisco, however) but know you were in great hands with the Putnams!
Indeed. I had a great time!
