Day 2 in Savannah
The second day in Savannah was mostly devoted - unsuccessfully - to keeping warm! The temperature hovered around the upper 50sF, which feels no warmer than its centigrade equivalent. We took a guided 'trolley' tour complete with narration, which told us something of the history of Savannah in general and the architecture in particular. The oldest building goes back to the early 18th century, with no end from the 19th, early to late. Apparently our street is reckoned one of the prettiest, and it certainly is attractive.

We only hopped off once, to have a look at a museum of ship models in a historic house. There is a garden associated with it but it was too cold to linger outside so we headed off to a classic car museum - on the basis that it would be indoors! It was, but with nothing out of the ordinary. You could view it as a used car dealer with an admission charge; everything inside being for sale; a Mk II and Mk IX Jag and an MG TD from the UK.
This was actually parked near the trolley tour ticket office to advertise the Prohibition Museum, which we passed on the trolley.

This was the only oldie in the classic museum; not for sale, unlike the rest.

This is a model of the Anne, which brought the first colonists in 1732 to found the 13th and last British colonial state.
