podunk, GA 4-21

While the donuts at the Thunderbird worked for me, Jean and I set off through the city for alternatives for him.  When we walked into Le Cafe Gourmet,  Jean's 1st words were "they have crepes'   then he said it again. Explored some the 22 parks laid out by Oglethorpe in America's 1st planned city.  Or so they told us - hard to believe everything you hear about Georgia.  Checked out the historic riverfront (very old looking walls, but underdeveloped imho), 2nd biggest port in USA, the oldest reform synagogue (1733) in USA- peculiar as reform Judaism didn't emerge until the early 1800s. See earlier comment about Georgia. Savannah is beautiful with all the trees, parks and architecture. Then powered by smoothies and a nap, started really heading south along 17 (actual bike lane on shoulder in parts) around 2 30.  Got milkshakes at the DQ bike-thru on hot afternoon. No rush to get to our $45 country inn i95 in podunk.  (Actually it's in Eulonia, and it was better than Econolidge).  59 miles, 60% of them after 5pm. And before sunset.
