Here are some scenes from River Street, Savannah Georgia.  I loved the energy of this area.  Even in the morning when shops were just opening and few were on the street, there was an exciting vibe.

I adore the nautical decor of Savannah's riverfront.  Heavily influenced by pirates, obviously.

Savannah's riverfront lies below downtown, and as a result, many old cobblestone stairways still remain to gain access to the River Street area.  I'm told that sailors used to hide their gold under some of these stone, in hopes of saving it from robbery should they be the victim of an attack.

Inside the historic 250 year old Pirates House, Savannah Georgia.  Ghosts of departed sailors are rumored to be walking these halls.  None were found on our visit, sadly.

Part of Savannah's rich history is that laid by pirates!  This building (or combination of buildings) are the oldest in the State.  With being constructed in 1734, and being the watering hole for many sailors and pirates that found their way here, you can only imagine how much history echoes through these walls.

Tunnels ran under its foundation leading out to the river.   Many unsuspecting young men came to the tavern to enjoy in drink and carry on with others, and instead they were carried away, shanghaied through these tunnels out to awaiting ships where they were sold and enslaved.

One of the highlights of our Savannah visit was the haunted tour of the most haunted parts of the city (which also included the most haunted house in the United States).

Of course, there had to be a full moon on this walking tour.

Below is a photo of the Marshall House, used as a war hospital in its day.  They performed so many amputations on one level, they started disposing of the dismembered limbs beneath the floorboard.  They say only recently did they discover the bones beneath the floor during a renovation.

This graveyard is rumored to be haunted by the ghost of a little boy.

The ghosts of children that perished during an orphanage fire haunt this vacant building.

Today is my birthday!  Have a drink on me!

Here we enjoy a dark and stormy before a Savannah ghost tour; this is one of my husbands favorite cocktails.  Appropriately named for it's look of dark and stormy skies over a calm sea.
