Historic Savannah Trolley Tour

We booked the "On and Off" trolley tour in order to learn about Savannah, plus have the freedom to stop and look when we wanted and jump back on for a ride when we needed. We had two really neat guides and our goal was accomplished, we learned more than we knew to begin with, for sure! The fountain at Forsyth Park gives proof of how cold it actually was that day.
I wasn't super-excited about old churches and historic buildings and homes, so mum snapped a few photos as we walked on by. The architecture in Savannah was very unique and pretty, according to mommy.


This is the oldest cemetery in Savannah. If you look to the back of the photo you will see rows of old headstones that have been misplaced through the years and simply lined up against the wall for safe keeping.




This playground was just steps outside the entrance to the cemetery. Our guide told us it was the site of famous and not-so famous duels between folks who weren't exactly seeing eye-to-eye. The loser ended up next door in the cemetery and the winner acorss the street in the pub. It makes a nice play area now.



Oh no, I think I'm feeling sick, let's get out of here!
