48 Hours in Savannah
I came across this article I wrote for Vagabundo magazine a few years ago, about Savannah, Georgia and thought I’d share it here. Savannah is a quirky, offbeat place which should be on anyone’s list of places to visit in the deep south of America: http://www.vagabundomagazine.com/48-hours-in-savannah/

I actually substituted some of the yoghurt for milk and it seemed fine.
