Trolley Pictures

This is the first leg of our trolley ride. There was so much information that the driver gave out. I just don't remember all of it. Which is kind of a shame. But, I have picked out pictures that I really like and pictures about things that I can remember. Don't quote me on any of the historical stuff though. Also, the pictures are backwards (the things we saw last are the first pictures - too lazy to change them.)

Georgia was the 13th Colony. The English sent its prisoners there. The Georgia Colony had five prohibitions. Only two I can remember. The first was no slaves (obviously they changed their ways). The second was no Catholics. The Spaniards were their enemies and many were currently living in territory of Florida.

The house from Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Need to read the book again. Talking about books about Savannah, Eugenia Price's books are awesome.

The streets, back in the day, were made out of oyster shells.

The pirate house was built in 1754. Rumor has it, it had a tunnel dug in the ground for pirates to escape out the back of the building.

Birthplace of the Girl Scouts. Girl Scouts, every summer, make the pilgrimage to Savannah.

I took random pictures of houses that I thought were really pretty or loved the way they were decorated or had some historical story. Most of which, I can't remember.

Savannah graveyard dating back to before the Civil War. When either the Confederate Army or the Northern Army camped there, for entertainment, the solders thought it would be fun to remove gravestones and change dates on the tombstones. When the graveyard was cleaned up, they did not know where many of the stones belonged so they are attached to a wall at the back of the cemetery.

One of the oldest church in Savannah. It has recently been restored. Even sending the stained glass back to Austria to be fixed.

During the old days, women were very modestly dressed. Arms and legs covered. Barely any skin at all showing. Some families went so far as to have separate staircases that led into into their homes so men and women could enter separately.

Old English pub. Complete with Old English phone booth.

There are many more photos. These are just some of my favs. We got off the trolley at the pirate house and then got back on at The Trolley Stop near the market area. More pictures soon . . .
