Inspired Travels...{Savannah, GA} Mondays

So here it is, a post based on places I am visiting, would like to visit, or have visited. With the hope that I can at least look back at these posts and be inspired that I can still do these things no matter what my age. I loved the movie "The Bucket List", it makes me want to keep going and doing no matter how small.

With that being said, Savannah. I'm coming at this whole experience from the angle of a Gilmore Girl. Character Sookie, Jackson, Rory, Paris, Luke, Jess, Dean, Lane, Babbett, Patty, Emily, Richard, Logan.... You know how it goes.

I would like to take a couple little strolls to some local parts of the area. This vintage clothing shop that is probably a little like Plato's Closet but a little better in selections of clothing, called The Clothing Warehouse.

           I like tea, and since I can't be in England to have an appropriate teatime, this place seems pretty interesting. I'm sure if Emily Gilmore wasn't completely stuck up, she'd give this place a chance without  turning up her nose. But let's be real, she'd probably have a snide remark quicker thank you can say.... Gryphon Tea Room.

Also, can't go to Savannah and not experience Paula Deen and sons' restaurant The Lady and Sons. 
I've been transitioning into becoming a Pescetarian because of how much I like fish, but also because I want to be a healthy 26 year old. Soon to be 27 year old. I don't pass up food because I have to, I would like to make conscious decisions of eating healthier options, but also eating the foods I love in moderation. 
You can already gather Sookie would be owning this joint.

The menu already looks tasty: Crab Stuffed Portobello, Shrimp and Grits, Seared Tilapia. The list goes on and on.




Saw a cute little bookstore I'd like to visit as well, called The Book Lady. Looks like something       reminiscent of a fantasy dreamed up by Rory Gilmore herself.


On for my ultimate treat, the dreams of Lane Kim come to life. Only this endeavor doesn't have to be hid under floor boards from a crazed Ms. Kim.
This is apart of SCAD, or at least held in SCAD's building, but it is called the Savannah Record Fair. Loads of records, loads of cd's. Everything a music lover could really ask for. I'm now crossing my fingers for a record player. On for the hunt now!


And that is probably where I'll end it folks. But if you'd like to know more of the trip itinerary I'll be sure to post some more about it, as well as my own pictures.

Lost in Laundromat Translation

Tips on using an Italian laundry service. Story all true, formed last Saturday as a series of unfortunate events. Step 1: When using an Italian laundromat make a fool of yourself first by playing it cool when others are standing around waiting on their own personal belongings. Step 2: Get set up in a corner as if you're prepping for a long day of laundering. (laundry-not money, let's be clear!) Step 3: Wait for said people and any extra onlookers to slowly exit and be financially prepared for any extra money to be spent. Step 4: Fake read Italian signs all over the room, completely bypassing the signs above the washers that are in fact ENGLISH INSTRUCTIONS. So when you see a sign that says "Istruzioni per il lavaggio" ,you will understand it reads "washing instructions". You will also see the UK flag representing a "universal" English speaking dialect. But wait! It gets better! Step 5: Walk to the blinking lotto slot to choose your d...

Special Treat // Friday Covers

Image
Along with the compositions of pictures that I think I was posting on Friday's, I want to try to upload some of the best covers I have found. So that's also mainly for me to put up more music because I love music. This cover is Jessie J singing Rhianna's "We Found Love". Might I add, it's a lot better than the original. Don't hate. Just listen. Now go find you some love and live on.

When Rain Comes...

Just something I began writing from when I was still in Italy. It's already been a full month since I've been back and I'm happy more than ever that I documented what I saw from my window, I won't get to see it for some time. Or perhaps ever. I'm almost beginning to wonder if there is something in the rain because the Italians have a way of scurrying about the streets like God is going to make it flood again and if they don't hurry they will miss the Ark. Well it's not like that, but it's the closest thing to a visual I can give you. Across from my bedroom view there is an old man that looks out of his window on the 5th floor everyday. Always consoling his hands with his head, looking like he doesn't know what to look for beneath his window; but he stares for a good 5 minutes looking at passers-by. A woman who occupies the same flat is often hanging tons of laundry, of which most of the contents hanging up do not resemble any article of clothing...
