We arrived at Lott, Hunter Army Air force Base about 15 miles from the Historical Savannah. The campsite is utterly in the woods. Big oak trees with vines and moss hanging off them and they look real scary at night. Only 2 lights in the whole campsites.
First day we drove into the Historical city and looked at all the homes. Wow what homes. Ended up at the Cathedral of St John The Baptist Catholic Church. Beautiful inside. The next day we took a horse drawn carriage around the city to see and hear some of the history.
The city is make up of squares as the original 40 came over from England on the Ann and started the city by building homes in a square. Of course the start of the Civil War started 150 years ago this year. We ate at The Cotton Exchange which is famous for there Shrimp and Grits.. Really it is great, but rich in favor, down on the River Street. They have the original cobble stone streets (hold on to your hat as it will jar your inards) When we were there the vendors were up and down the River Street to sell you anything. We took a ride on the 3 hr tour in a mini bus of the Savannah Experience Tour. Our guide Jeffery was the best I have ever had. He's father work with Harold Cronkite for over 30 yrs. While Jeffery was giving us the history he would change his voice to quote what that person said and it was like listening to a book tape. It make it so much more interesting. We lunched at City Market where the slaves were traded from time to time. There is a big College here The Savannah College of Art and Design or SCAD. We had to visit the Mighty Eighth Air Force Museum which was so interesting. All the World War 11 information and we even went on a Mission Experience in a Quonset-hut where a guide (Sam Najarian) briefed you on the next mission and then we saw from the air what happened to our airplanes. He was even one of a 7 man crew who had to bail our r and survived along with 4 others over Belgium.
