After picking up Cricket at the marina they were in, we had to stop for "HOT" donuts since the light was on.
We have made it a required thing that when we come to a new town we take the trolley ride around to see what we would like to go back to and visit.
High on my bride's list was a visit to the Juliette Lowe house since she spent a large part of her girls life as a girl scout leader.
How long has it been since we have seen a phone booth?
As we traveled around town we saw many lovely examples of Victorian and Colonial homes.
This tree is reported to be over 300 years old.
In the Colonial neighborhood the street was a mixture of clay and oyster shells. Apparently very durable since it still exists after all these years.
This is reported to be the oldest building in Georgia and is now a restaurant. 
More of the restaurant.
We got off the tour bus at the waterfront and walked down River Street which faces the Savannah River. Since the waterfront stores are much lower than the streets, each store had a walkway from their second story to the upper street for loading supplies.
The five of us stopped at a pub on the waterfront for lunch.
The side streets from the upper streets to the waterfront are made of the ballast that ships used when they came to the new colonies from Europe and unloaded to get room for the products that they are taking back to Europe.
The waterfront stores cover several blocks.
More waterfront pictures.
Paula Dean's restaurant.
The next pictures are of the homes facing our marina.
Tomorrow we are planning on leaving Savannah and heading toward Hilton Head. We have reservations on Skull Creek for one night then on to Beaufort, SC.
