Seeing Savannah

Savannah, established in 1733,  is the oldest city in Georgia and it was a strategic port city in the American Revolution and during the Civil War.  George Washington slept here!

Juliette Gordon Low, the founder of the Girl Scouts, was born in Savannah.

We looked in the windows at The Lady & Sons Restaurant (Paula Deen).

We met Ed Marshall, a friend from Oklahoma City school days, and had a wonderful lunch at the historic Olde Pink House Restaurant.  We were so busy visiting and catching up, we forgot to take a picture of all of us.

Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist - cornerstone was laid in 1873.  As we passed by, a large wedding party is coming out of the church. 

We enjoyed the view of Savannah from a tour bus and also walking around the town.
This block contained the Pirates' House Restaurant.  Built in 1753, the Pirates' House has hosted seafarers as well as blood-thirsty pirates and sailors from the Seven Seas.  

Lovely preserved homes.
