Tuesday - May 3, 2011

We are going to stay at this marina for three nights so we can see the sites of Savannah. The last time I was here was January some 5 or six years ago for a golf weekend. I remember it was cold, in fact one day we had sleet while we played. Didn't see much of the city except for one restaurant on the river which was pretty good.

In any case we caught a cab in this morning with our friends from Lady Royal and took a tour trolley around the city. Stopped at the City Market which really isn't a market but a number of stores. Brenda bought a really nice quilt for the bed in the boat. We then moved on and stopped at the home of the founder of the Girl Scouts (not Guides) in the US. She got the idea from Lord Baden-Powell. The site was voted the most popular visit site in Savannah. I think every girl and women who is or was a girl scout skewed the vote because it was OK but there are a lot better homes that I have seen. We then continued on the tour and stopped at the local park in the center of town, walked around, looked at some more interesting houses from the outside. By then we were hungry so based on a recommendation from other tourists we went to the Old Pink House for lunch - called Old Pink because it is pink in color.
