Savannah GA - River Street District

From the park, we drove down a cobblestone road to the river district.  Most of the shops and restaurants are located in what were the old brick cotton warehouses along the wharf. 
The Rte 17 bridge over the Savannah River is in the background
The Waving Girl at the harbour...the statue of Florence Martus, not the tourist.  Legend has it that she did not miss greeting a single ship in the 44 years of her watch.  We might have to come back to get a better picture of her waving.
In addition to pleasure boats, we saw tugs, steamships, and this clipper ship on the river.
This inn is on the historic hotel registry
 Even the bears in Savannah were friendly!  A very lovely place to visit!
