Savannah Day 2

Today was a very, very full day....  It started early in the morning with a photo trek along the route from Tybee Island to Savannah with a major stop at Ft Pulaski National Monument.  The fort was very interesting.  When built for the Civil War it was thought to be impregnable.  This was proven wrong on April 10th & 11th 1862 when Union troops directed rifled artillery rounds at the fort breaching the southeast section.  The fort was quite amazing.  The weather during this little photo trek was unbelievably hot and humid...  I had water just pouring out of me....  Once I had my fill of photos for the morning (just too hot), it was off to the beach.  The afternoon continued to be very hot and humid but the water was magnificent.  Aside from getting stung by jellyfish numerous times the day was fabulous.  This evening we went into Savannah for dinner and a bit of touring (let's not forget the shopping).  It was a great day overall....
