A DAY IN SAVANNAH

 We spent the day exploring Savannah.

First stop was the Bonadventure Cemetery.

Then, it was back into town to get on a City Trolley, On and Off Tour.

We got off the trolley to see the inside of the Roman Catholic Cathedral Basilica of St John the Baptist.

Back onto the trolley, and into the city center, where we got off to have lunch at an Irish Pub, Wexford.  Darrell had Shepard's Pie, I tried the Cobb Salad.  Then back onto the trolley.

Next stop was to tour an historic home, the Davenport House.

We were enjoying it so much, we forgot to take pictures!

INTO SAVANNAH GEORGIA

Before we left St Augustine we made a stop at Fort Matanzas National Monument also.  The ferry to take you out to the actual fort that is situated on a small island was not up and running.  We settled for a few quick pictures and getting our passport stamp.

Then it was up the coast to Savannah Georgia.  On the way, I wanted to make another quick stop at Fort Caroline National Monument and the Timucuan Ecological Preserve.  But, when we got there the gates were not open.  Their sign said they should have been open, but they weren't.  That was very frustrating.  

Once in Savannah we headed to Fort Pulaski National Monument.  The wind was blowing and it was cold, but we enjoyed it.

ST AUGUSTINE FLORIDA

 We left the Tampa area and headed east to St Augustine Florida where we spent the night.

But, first, after we finally found a parking spot, we went to the Castillo de San Marcos National Monument.  

ST PETERSBURG FLORIDA

 Darrell has been teaching at the Florida School of Woodworking this last week.  I flew in on Thursday night.  He finished the class on Friday night and on Saturday morning we headed into St Petersburg to the Museum of  the America Arts and Crafts Movement.  Darrell wanted to get some all around photos of the Blacker House Arm Chair by Greene & Greene.

I think he had great fun.  They have a marvelous collection of Greene & Greene, Frank Lloyd Wright and many lesser known artisans work.
