The Haunted house

I went to this place called Cracker Barrel for breakfast one morning. The meal serving size was huge, I got french toast with syrup, apple, nuts and muesli, and bacon and eggs. It was a really old American style place and looked really cool.

We went down to Savannah for the weekend with most of the other GRSP students. On the Friday evening we all got together and explored River Street. We did lots of shopping and sampling of taffy and praline in some of the candy shops. On Friday night we had burgers by the water, it was a nice meal with a lovely  view. That night we went on a ghost tour. Savannah is meant to be one of the most haunted towns in America. While I was not one of the people who were scared, I did find the history really interesting.

On Saturday we went to the Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum, where we learned about the Eighth Air Force that served around Europe in World War II. It was really interesting, and while we were there it rained a lot.

We then went to a lighthouse on Tybee Island. It was built in 1732, and has 178 stairs to the top, it is the tallest lighthouse in Georgia and 16th in the US.  We got a pretty good view from the top and the weather began to clear in time for us to go to the beach.



We had a bit of a 'base' at a home a short walk from the beach and I was very excited to swim in some salt water. We went swimming, for walks and played soccer. There was also a pirate festival on, so we had a look at that too.

We had a low-country boil for dinner, which consisted of prawns, crayfish, corn and potato, there was also chicken and carrot cake. We spent time talking, playing games, and then the night ended with fireworks over the ocean.
