Day 49- Clearwater to Savannah, Georgia (351 Miles, 8759 Total)

Our last day in Florida brought a rarity. A good schools show. Normally the school shows are a bit unforgiving, especially if, as in this case, there are 1500 of the little oiks all screaming, shouting and generally not listening to a word you say.

However, this show was a pleasant surprise. Perhaps it was the high levels of teachers willing to participate but it was generally enjoyable for all involved.


They laughed when they were supposed to, shouted when we wanted them to, and most importantly, listened and shut up when they were supposed to. So we left Florida a happy bunch, and headed North on the 3 day trip to New York. This was not before we'd all signed a nice photo that the venues photographer had taken, another rarity, a Gruffalo publicity shot with us in it!


After the 350 mile drive up Florida and into Georgia we rested our sleepy heads in "historic" Savannah. In a change from the norm we actually found a place in the town that we could stay on budget. It was walking distance from some bars and restaurants and definitely had the coolest name and sign yet.


Today brings a long drive up North with the promise of cold, snow and terrible mix CDs. But all in all we're good, and happy. Bring on New York!
