Coasting to Savannah - Day 5 - Savannah Tour

The weather was predicted to be 90% chance of rain and boy did it rain.  We got up and intended to take a tour of the city followed by a self guided tour.  The tour was provided by Old Savannah Tours and it was great.  The tour guide / driver had many interesting stories, but it was raining so the plastic windows were down... no picutures. 

We took the tour bus again to Mrs. Wilkes Boarding House for lunch.  The tour had a stop two blocks from Mrs. Wilkes.  We got off the bus in pouring rain and then stood in the rain for an hour before we got in for lunch.  Again, no pictures because of the rain.  This was an incredible lunch and if your ever in Savannah you should make this resturant for lunch. 

We then split up, Bo, Joy and Herman going to Paula Dean's to attempt a dinner reservation, no luck.  Karen and I headed off to CVS for some head cold medicine.  Both groups hiked through historic Savannah in the pouring rain.  We were unable to get any pictures as this was an absolute down pour. 

Finally after the rain quit, we were able to wander out again for dinner and headed down the to the river walk.  We walked past these two beauties.



Herman and Bo stopped for a quick photo.


We learned the the majority of the river walk builidngs were used for cotton companies.  



I am not sure what I was looking at. 


 Finally we ended our night at the candy store... again.
