East coast - Philly 2008
We hit the beach this morning but the wind was too strong and cold to spend much time out there. We drove to Savannah to see Fort Pulaski, it was very diffent it had a moat and dirt mounts that when you stepped down into some tunnels that run under it was a maze. If you look at the walls of the tunnels its made of a type of concreat but the material was made with shells. You could see whole clamb & muscle shells in the walls, ceiling and floor. After the fort we drove into Savannah to see some of the old houses. We went into one called Owens-Towns, in order to keep everything symetric and even when you look in or outside of it there were fake windows and doors. So in a room if there was one door there was another even if the door wouldnt open or go anywhere. The house had a staircase that started as one then split into two going up to the second floor then the second floor had a bridge that went between the two stairs to a little sitting room at the back of the house. Very strange touches to the house. We made it down to St Augustine for the night. We hope to start early tommorrow and see the fort it has tommorrow and some more beach of course.
