Return To Savannah

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.

Among the historic, literary, artistic sites and signage

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

Big ship

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
Art Deco church

Dinner one night at Leopold's

Many interesting Indie shoppes




























































































































Interesting first-floor interior of the Savannah College of Art and
Design bookstore

Decor in a restaurant we liked

Ever more Deco

Featuring air-conditioned waitresses

More humor

All this among a variety of apartment visits

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