Randy treated us to a weekend stay in Savannah right along the Savannah River. Our room overlooked the river and just out the back door of the hotel, we could walk up Bay Street and instantly feel we were back in time. The cobblestone streets and old brick buildings could no doubt tell many stories. Along the edge of town was a Pirate House Restaurant. This was linked to one of the oldest standing buildings in Savannah. If a person needed a reason not to get drunk in public, this establishment would give reason: drunk men were taking down into the tunnels of this Pirate House and placed on board pirate ships. They would come to when the ship was at sea. Either join the crew or walk the plank!
Other interesting sites we saw were beautiful squares all over the city. One famous square made it into Forest Gump. We walked through that square but did not take pictures because it was getting dark. The founder of the city placed twenty four squares in the layout of Savannah. Most had fountains, gardens and park benches.
Another famous location in the city was the birth place of the founder of Girl Scouts!
Savannah was celebrating Christmas with imported snow and dancing along one of its prominent streets!
