Six Pence Pub, Savannah GA



The Six Pence Pub in Savannah GA has been a popular spot for over forty years. It's a great place to get a taste of English fair, and have a few pints with friends. While this site didn't offer too much English food, it's still a great place to visit. It's designed like a traditional English Pub, and sits on the gorgeous Bull Street in Savannah GA, just a few blocks from the historic River Street. 


My favorite part of this adventure was probably the telephone booth--to be honest. 


There were a few things that were added to give it a more touristy feel, but by all accounts it is authentic. My friend Sunni and I enjoyed looking at it, while also taking a few touristy pictures in front of it. 


I would highly recommend this place for a weekend adventure or weekday night out. However, if you are going just to get wasted I wouldn't recommend it. Part of the allure of the Six Pence is the atmosphere and the experience, if you are just going to drink then stay away. The drinks aren't cheap and you won't appreciate the beauty around you. But as more my drink recommendation, I would say go with the cider, it's fantastic! 

The food is also fantastic! The most impressive of our orders was probably the beef guinness! Beef stew served in a warm bread bowl. Delicious! And paired with the cider...perfection! 

So for a little bit of England in our Southern state, head on down to the Six Pence! 

Final Cost of Trip: 20 dollars in food, 10 dollars in gas money.

What Do We See?

What do we see? 

The world around us moves continually onward, a rushing stream of people, sounds, stories...but what do we actually see? 

We are bombarded by an increasing desire to travel, to see what all the world has to offer. Because college is when we fully see that the world has so much to offer. We can feel adventure on our finger tips, feeling the wind pushing us to the cusp of the world...but often we can't go.

Study abroad is offered to us as an opportunity to see the world, but it is often too expensive for us. Scholarships help some, but often we must wait and save to finally go and see the rest of the world. So what can we do until then?

Or better yet....how can we expect to fully experience the rest of the world when we cannot experience the one around us.

All around us, other cultures live and thrive, yet do we see them? Do we experience them? How can we appreciate cultures from across the globe if we cannot appreciate the ones that live beside us.

This blog is my journey to change my filter, to see the world with fresh eyes. To experience other cultures that live beside me. Also, it is about my journey to fully experience and appreciate the adventures that lie in plain sight around me.
