Monday, March 18th.
This morning I decided to drive to Savannah, as Nashville was 9 hours away and the weather was to be very cold the next morning. So we drove 5 hours to Savannah and arrived about 1. We booked a hop on hop off bus tour. The driver, Big E, was an over-the-top large black man with a good sense of humour and a thick southern accent. We got some of what he said but missed lots. There were several actors dressed in period costume who got on at some of the stops to add colour, stories and history to the tour which made it fun. Later we walked to the large beautiful basilica we saw from the tour. Unfortunately we missed opening hours and were only allowed to peek inside. It was beautiful and ornate inside too. Then we walked through a couple of the beautiful squares with their large Spanish moss covered trees to Mickvel Israel the first Reformed synagogue of Georgia. It really is a lovely old city. Then we walked down to the Savannah River. We walked along the bank exploring until we picked a nice restaurant called the Broken Keel on the second floor overlooking the river. We had a couple of drinks and a great meal.
