We have had 2 beautiful sunny days to revisit this area. We love the laid back feeling of Savannah after the bustle of Charleston SC. It is so easy to walk all through the historic district with few people and little traffic. The town squares throughout the city are such a nice place to relax. We spent one day just walking and enjoying the historic area and had lunch at our favorite place, Mrs. Wilkes. At one time it was a boarding house, but now they just do lunch in the boardinghouse style. It is a delicious southern lunch with all of those favorite dishes served family style - so many different dishes that you can't even taste all of them before you are full. These pictures are typical of the houses you find in Savannah.
Today we went to Fort Pulaski, a well preserved fort from the Civil War. Since we had thoroughly explored the fort on our last visit, we decided to walk the mile trail to see the Cockspur Lighthouse.
From the fort it is just a few miles to Tybee Island, a beach community. We revisited the lighthouse there and even found the same seafood market as last time and bought lots of local shrimp!
