Sweet Savannah

Thursday was the day for us to explore historic Savannah. There were so many buildings, town squares, fountains and so little time. First stop: Forsyth Park with the beautiful fountain below. That was on my picture priority list.

Here is the walkway to the beautiful fountain. Wouldn’t it be great if we had that transplanted to Phoenix? It would probably be so crowded that there would be no room to walk.

The day had us partaking of many forms of transportation: first was walking down a long flight of stairs......

then along old cobblestone roads down by the river....
riding the 1935 streetcar that was brought over from Australia.....
and taking the free ferry ride. We also took the free shuttle bus around the city, which allows you to get off and on and specific spots.
I took a picture of the waterfront as we rode the ferry back to the dock by City Hall.

We got off the shuttle bus and walked a few blocks to St. John the Baptist Cathedral. That was also on my picture list as we drove into the city and I saw the spires rising above all the other buildings.

Sometimes you just have to re-check the map to see if you’re in the right place. Yep, this is it!

Before we headed back to the bus stop, we passed by the by the house of Juliette Gordon Low, who founded Girl Scouts of America in March, 1912. After a full day of sightseeing, it was time for us to head back to Skidaway Island State Park so we could relax before dinner. Dale and Mary made the shrimp boil for us again, like we had in Illinois. We enjoyed that a second time!
