Savannah walkabout

Had a nice time in Savannah (one short day, January 8th).  Here are our belated photos (poor to non-existent wifi since then).  We spent two nights at Thunderbolt Marina a few miles away and had very peaceful nights.  If we had stayed in Savannah, we would have had to tie up along the Savannah River right next to round-the-clock ferry, tug, and freighter traffic.  No, thank you.

Golden dome on Savannah's City Hall

Too much traffic on the Savannah River to have a comfortable night of sleep

This gem (the boat, not David :) is for sale, if anyone's interested.

Don't let the sunshine fool you, it was 30*F with a stiff wind!

We crossed the Savannah River (on the ICW) in less than 10 minutes.  We saw SEVEN freighters!

Love that they offer water fountains for pets.  I miss my Dekey!

This huge shrub almost looked like a rose bush, but not quite.  It was beautiful!

Lots of pretty churches and squares/parks throughout the city

City Hall, again

I would have loved to walk around the top floor of this building.

Charming homes

Lunch at Crystal Beer Parlor which reminded us of Sleder's Tavern in Traverse City.

An independent bookstore!

Cathedral of St. John the Baptist

You're a grand, old flag!

Riverfront trolley
