Savannah, GA

I went to the Savannah Convention Center’s website to see if there were any events planned.  There weren’t so we took advantage of the free parking and walked a short distance to the dock.

 

Our timing was perfect because we caught a ferry that was just about to leave the dock. 

 

While we crossed the river we noticed a yacht just pulling alongside the dock across the river.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We took a slow stroll along the riverfront sampling foods and candy merchants were using to try to lure customers in.

 

 

 

 

Monte really liked the calamari samples and I enjoyed the fried pickles.  We both savored the pralines (at five different shops) and fudge.

 

 

 

 

The riverside is quite a bit lower than the main street.  There are access stairs to the main street at intervals.

 

 

 

I think we ended up choosing the steepest stairs.

 

 

 

With no agenda in mind we just wandered along until we came to a stop for the free city bus.  We hopped on and rode it until we ended up back where we started 30 minutes later.

 

 

 

 

We strolled through City Market just off of Ellis Square, stopping in at a candy shop to sample more fudge and then to the Byrd’s Famous Cookie store to sample many delicious cookies.   We purchased Key Line Cookies at (gulp) $7.95 for an 8ounce bag.  They were THAT GOOD!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We continued our aimless walking for another hour before catching the ferry back to the Convention Center. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It had been another awesome day--
