“Sherman’s march to the Sea” We are eating our way to the sea

Savannah is a very interesting town.  We took a hop-on hop- off bus tour. Along the route were movie locations for “Forest Gump”.  The church and the park (without the iconic bench).

The first girl scout headquarters started in Savannah.Savannah has 22 squares (small parks) The largest is Forsyth and is 30 acres. This fountain was very nice.Beautiful Live Oak trees  line many walk ways in the town. Spanish moss was hanging from the branches. Live oaks never loose their leaves. (huh)

 Catholic church .The cemetery was right next to the church.  Here we go again . . . time to eat.  We ate at the famous “Pink House” Wow, delicious.At the Savannah Cotton Exchange buyers would stand on these walkways and bid on bundles of cotton below to be shipped to England. And we found birds, something we haven’t be able to find very often in Georgia. We didn’t ride on this river boat, but it look fun as we walked up and down River St.Savannah Candy Co.  I wished we weren’t so full.Beautiful Fall decorations all over the town,  “The Waving Girl”  statue in on the banks of the river. Her story is,  she would wave a handkerchief every morning and every evening as ships would leave or return from the port of Savannah.  This is the bridge that goes to Elba Island on the other side of the Savannah River. Fancy…

Good night from Savannah.
