Day 2 - Sunday, June 20 - Savannah, Hilton Head, Charleston

Day 2: Sunday, June 20 –20 minute drive to Savannah. Sunday morning. No traffic. Easy to cruise the city. Downtown has beautiful tree-lined streets with large square drive-around parks every few blocks. Heavily shaded.

Followed the rough cobblestone River drive past all the (closed) restaurants and shops. All old but maintained. We never traveled to see serious colonial mansions but were impressed with the city.

Exited north on state roads towards Hilton Head. We didn’t crash large resorts, but saw golf courses, beautiful country-club homes, and small but pricey old beach-front streets.

Leaving Hilton Head, we pass near Parris Island and Navy base

US-17 north, (near Parris Island) to Charleston Day’s Inn.

Charleston is not a pretty town, but tres historic. Civil War started at nearby Ft Sumter. We did no tours and quit early. One and two blocks from water, restaurants filled inside and out. We ate in. Pizza.
