Water taxi and Ellis Square

Sunday after church we decided to park on Hutchinson Island and take the water taxi over to the water front (Rivers Street) of Savannah.   We have done this before and find this is a great way to access the city without the stress of finding a parking space near where we want to walk.

Once in Savannah, we found ourselves strolling in the squares, reading the historical plaques.   In Reynolds square was a statue of John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist Church.    We also saw historical monuments dedicated to Washington, and a general from the Revolutionary War.    Our adventure led us to Ellis Square and the City Market.

  At Ellis Square was a statue of Johny Mercer who was legend in music, founding a record label.   We also found a nice art gallery with some local artists displaying paintings, ceramics and jewelry.

Sabrina loves picking "weedy" flowers.   She picked this one on Hutchinson Island on our way to catch the water taxi.   Here she is sitting in front of the beautiful snap dragon garden which also has roses blooming in the background.
