Savannah: Part Seven: RR Museum and Paula Dean's

Famous TV Chef Paula Deen has a restaurant (The Lady and Sons) and a gift shop in Savannah- so we opted for the gift shop. It was filled with cookbooks, nicknacks for the kitchen, jarred delights, and more. It seemed that it was all really fattening (although appealing). Perhaps that's just southern cooking! - Some of the items on her restaurant buffet are:Southern fried chicken, Baked chicken, Collard greens, Mashed potatoes, Yams, Lima beans, Black eye peas, Mac and cheese, Green Beans, Rice, banana puddin', Peach cobbler, and "Gooey butter cakes." Oh yeah, her sons are handsome guys.
Another place we went was the Roundhouse Railroad Museum, 601 W Harris St
Savannah, GA 31401 (http://www.chsgeorgia.org/roundhouse/home.htm). It's laid out as a circle and you can see the railroad yard, printing press (where the bills and tickets were issued); mechanical rooms; roundhouse and lots of railroad cars. Great signage gives a good idea of the industry and a nice way to spend a cloudy morning (it was 45F outside, too).

I thought the main smokestack looked a little like the leaning tower, so asked Jeff to LEAN while I took his picture!
Tom and Rob were just grinnin' and enjoying the morning!

With some of the railroad works in ruins, and only walls standing, I thought this photo with walls and windows behind walls looked very artsy!
