Thunderbolt, Ga Day 3

Miles Traveled 0
Total Miles Traveled 3306
Day 231

We watched two more loopers catch up to us, and then pass us on their journey north this morning.

“California Lady”


“Act III”



We spent the day sightseeing in Savannah, Ga today, the oldest city in the state of Georgia.  We walked cobblestone streets, through parks, and saw several historic buildings. 





This is city hall, the dome rises over 70 feet tall and was originally made in copper but was gilded in 1987 with sheets of 23-karat gold leaf, we were told the dome cost more than the entire building.



Of course we couldn’t pass up Paula Deens place.



Our last stop was the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum exhibiting ship models, paintings and maritime antiques, principally from the great era of Atlantic trade and travel between England and America during the 18th and 19th centuries.  The museum is housed in a home built for William Scarbrough, one of the principal owners of the Steamship Savannah and president of the Savannah Steamship Company.  Would this be a long lost uncle Dick?
