We were in Savannah last spring, exploring a bit, and very much liked what we saw, as posted here, and here. Having sold our North American camper last summer we are thinking ever more about settling down a bit, finding a home base, though still traveling. Savannah has risen to the top of our list--Old World feel, walkability, demographics, climate, etc.--and we wanted to look a bit deeper, despite its being many months before we envisage actually moving. Anyhow, we spent nearly a week in Savannah, researching, looking around, looking especially at a variety of apartments in the city's historic center. Despite being on assignment, we did take some time for fun, with the resulting pix to document our visit. Think of them as out-takes.

I have an inordinate interest--inordinate considering being prone to seasickness and suffering from Mal de Debarquement Syndrome--in seafaring, ships, and such, and the Savannah River and port, one of the largest on the east coast, could provide many opportunities for ship- spotting |

Bridge tucked in between the hundreds (thousands?) of containers |

So there we were, walking down River Street, and noticing this very odd scene in the middle of the most touristy area |
|
Also some 30s cars and trucks (down the street) |
|
Huh? |
|
Of course we had wondered into a movie set--a feature called Origin, partially set in Germany... |
|
Tell-tale sign...we were impressed |
|
Art Deco and Deco Echo found all over the historic district |

Also a good sense of humor |

The laundry picture looks like it came from Dickens' England! Love the bookstore.
