I really like those old stone/brick steps in the last photo -- at least they look like steps to me.

Was the food good

Great shots , Randy, of one my favorite Savannah places. Did you get a chance to eat at the Boar's Head?

Your PP treatment really works well in this type environment. Folks wouldn't believe how steep some of those stone stairs along the riverfront actually are.

Hey Mary,

Unfortunately, I didn't have time to eat while in Savannah :cry

Thanks Tom,

Unfortunately, I didn't have time to eat while in Savannah, too busy taking pictures

The steps off River Street are STEEP, and that original cobblestone road is a bit tricky to walk on. I was simply amazed while watching a couple of women walking on the rough cobblestone with stilettos

If I ever get you near Savannah again, we're definitely going to the Boar's Head for some of the finest eating of your life.

Funny you mentioned the cobblestone road. The first time I took my motorcycle up to Savannah, I drove it down to River Street. I came in from the west and started down the steep part leading to the river. It had rained earlier and the cobblestones were still fairly wet. I hadn't been on those stones 5 seconds and I knew I had made a bad mistake. I was all over the place, trying to maintain some semblance of dignity in front of what seemed like 1 million tourists.... who had now been attracted to my hollering and crazy weaving around.

I made it to the bottom before the damn thing came out from under me and crashed with sounds I'd never heard before. Fortunately, I hadn't been going at any real speed but I still found myself sprawled out beside the bike. Out of the hoards of people all around, the only two who approached with an offer of help were two, big ( I mean REALLY big ) black ladies. One snatched my bike up and the other, after making certain I wasn't really hurt bad, snatched me up. Aside from some cosmetic damage, the bike was operable and safe to ride. I got some pretty good bruises from those damn stones but that was about it. The whole thing was a lesson learned by me: bikes and cobblestones...particularly wet ones....don't mix well.

Neat to see these finds Randy. Never been out that way.
Someday maybe.

Sorry Tom,

but that made me laugh

Not particularly about your misfortune, but I experienced almost the exact same thing, except I was riding a pair of tennis shoes. I did manage to "keep the rubber down" though

I learned the same lesson: Avoid wet cobblestones!

If you do Michael, make sure to take your camera. Lots of interesting scenes there.
