Today (05/10) we visited Savannah. Very interesting place to visit. The historic inner town is layed out with many squares. One square the Chippewa square ( named after the Indian chief with which General Oglethorp, founder of the state of Georgia, became friends) is the square where the scene out of the movie Forest Gump was filmed. The scene is where Forest tells his story to an elderly lady who is waiting for the bus, and he says " life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you get"
We took the public transport from the marina to town, and that initself was quite an experience.
One day is really not enough to take in all the beautiful sights of Savannah, but our itch to keep moving north won out, and tomorrow morning we will depart Georgia, and move into South Carolina, weather permitting
