Our last vacation days were spent in Savannah. To me, it is the most magical of all American cities and, as always, I was so smitten that I couldn't even take one picture. All pictures below were taken by husband.
The oldest building in Georgia is the Pirate House. It used to be a tavern and housed mainly sailors and pirates. There is still the underground tunnel from the restaurant to the Savannah River, that the smugglers used. The ceilings in the rooms are low, the wooden floors crocked. There are lots of little nocks and hidden doors.
Supposebly, Captain Flint died in one of the rooms upstairs. The Pirate House is mentioned several times in Robert Stevenson's book "Treasure Island".
