A huge cold front swept across the country over night and dropped snow on our hometowns. Funny that both Louisville and Fredonia got a couple inches of snow. Here in Hilton Head, we had heavy rain and wind. Fortunately, we were still able to have a long walk on the beach before it hit.
The rain only interfered a bit with our day in Savannah a little. We booked seats on the hop on/hop off trolley to tour the city. We listened to the guide's commentary, but couldn't see the sites she was describing. We exited at the Savannah River to find a place for lunch and escape the downpour. Our choice was The Shrimp Factory and it was delightful.
Steve had the pine bark stew with flounder, shrimp, oysters and scallops. My choice was the shrimp and sausage creole while Nancy had the fried shrimp dinner. We don't have access to great seafood in Fredonia or creole food, so lunch was a treat. So glad Steve had that opportunity.
The Ships of the Sea Museum had displays of models and paintings of ships of all types, from those powered by wind to nuclear power. Interesting, but I wish we had taken time to visit the Savannah School of Art and Design. One afternoon was simply not enough time to explore Savannah.
