We had read and heard so much about Savannah, we had to stop and see it. We stayed one night at a nearby State Park (Skidaway, one of the nicest we've been too, although there were a few mosquitoes about) and one night at a motel on the Historic District.

Many films have been made in or near Savannah. We had lunch at the Six Pence Pub, mostly because it was the first decent looking place we found after leaving the Visitor Center. It turns out that scenes from "Something to Talk About" with Julia Roberts and Dennis Quaid were filmed there.

Part of River Street.  The bench that Forest Gump didn't sit on (the actual bench is nearby). Our camp spot Wednesday night, May 18.

We had lunch the next day at City Market Cafe, behind me on the right.

Thursday Night

Our hotel was near the river front and River Street happens to be loaded with restaurants and bars. It seemed like a natural thing to do to go "exploring". The middle photo shows a huge container ship going by. This is still a very active port. Lorri is standing in front of the Fiddler Crab House, one or our stops. The place had raw oysters for 25 cents each!

In the middle, I'm standing in front of the Kevin Barry Irish Pub, another stop.

At the shrimp factory we had a "Chatham Artillery Punch" (a large snifter of mostly alcohol) and had a chat with the bartender and some fellow Punch drinkers. That's Missy, Lorri, Sheila the bartender, and Tim. Our last stop was the Boars Head Saloon. Actually, our last stop was the Chart House where we had some excellent fried green tomatoes but I have no photos of that.

Lorri is heading up the stairs to the street up above and our hotel.
