. Day 2 - June 22 Today I awoke early and was excited about
spending some quality time in Savannah. I've been through
Savannah many times, but never took the time to really see this
beautiful old waterfront city. I wasn't disappointed.

build has been there since 1869 (I was just a little guy back then).
