Mint Juleps

The bartender at the Savannah Hilton said they get a lot of people trying to order those. She said it was too hard to keep fresh mint in stock, so they stopped making them. She said they were nasty anyway. She said that when she had her first mint julep, she thought, "This is why we lost the war."

Savannah on a weekend night is full of tourists being educated about history. They tour around in hearses, in horse drawn carriages, and in walking tours led by colonially garbed young women holding lanterns. They are usually clutching plastic cups with beer in them.

It is a very, very beautiful city.

I seem to have lost my power cord in Pensacola. Calls are in to the hotel, but I may not be online for a couple of days minimum. Carry on.
