Approaching the historic riverfront of Savannah is like taking a step back in time.
The landscape drops towards the river and is covered by old live oaks with draping Spanish moss.
Dangerous, steep, old staircases await the daring.
Repurposed buildings run along the upper part of the riverfront.
One you make your way down you are challenged with very old, uneven ankle spraining type of cobblestones.
The Savannah river is charmed with the Savannah Queen.
She is available for dining and sunset cruises.
Since Jim and I are walkers, we typically don't go for the tourist things.
The shops have amazing, restored real estate to work with!
Most of it is extremely touristy and messy to look at but there are some attractive spots.
A riverfront stroll is not complete until you walk through Savannah's Candy Kitchen and see deliciousness in action! The shop itself is an entertaining with trains riding around above your head. You can see the tracks above. Enjoy a free sample of their famous pecan pralines! Not one of my favorite nuts, but when in a praline, I love the pecan! The shop smells crazy amazing too.
The photos do not do the riverfront justice. It is a very unique place to visit!
Have a marvelous day/evening (wherever you are on the clock)! ~Val
I would love to visit the area. We drove through at night a few years ago while on vacation and said we'd go back during the day on our way back home, but we never made it.
ReplyDeleteIt is a fun city to visit. We stayed 2 nights which gave us plenty of time to walk the picturesque streets and parks. There are fantastic eateries there too! I look forward to going back in the future.
DeleteHow did they get up and down those stairs in the days of those big "southern belle" dresses?
ReplyDeleteGood question! I would love to know too!
DeleteI always enjoy your posts, seeing the photographs and reading your narrative.
ReplyDeleteThose steps do look scary!
Take care, my good wishes.
All the best Jan
