Old Town Trolley Bus Savannah, GA

 The first day in Savannah, GA and we have decided to take the hop on hop off trolley bus around town.  Rode the bus and listened to all the information that the tour guide gave us about each stop. Rode on the Old Town Trolley bus.
  
 The trolley took us down a cobblestone road by the river, rough ride LOL.
 We got off the trolley and walked around down by the Savannah River.

Stopped in to sample some honey  at the Honey Bee Savannah Store.

 Visited the Market Place down by the river.

Decided to eat lunch while down on the river.  Marlon and I had eaten before at Huey's Southern Cafe and knew it would be a good place to eat with a great view. :-) Mickey treated everyone to a special treat of  "Beignets".  Totally delicious!!
 Back on the bus for some more touring.
Haint Blue is painted on ceilings, window trim and sometimes doors in Southern states.  Folklore has it that the word "Haint" is a southern variation of the word "haunt" refers to a ghost or a spirit.
"Blue represented water, and apparently spirits can't traverse water".  People would paint the ceilings, the window trim to keep the spirits away.  


 Visited the Girl Scouts Headquarters.
Beautiful squares throughout Savannah, GA.  THis town is just full of history.

 Back on the trolley to venture towards our van, its time to check in to Holiday Inn on 520 West Bryan Street, Savannah, GA. 31401
