Savannah, GA 4-20

Slow morning at the HoJo,  then cycled into Beaufort for second breakfast by the water, and national park service tour.   Loved ranger Kaley who taught us about reconstruction and the sociological experiment that Beaufort was in that process.  Saw 157 year old African American church, which was one of first in the nation and learned about Robert Small.  Toured around beautiful antebellum houses and live oaks. Very cool!  Then cycled rest of swamp moss trail (okay, not outstanding), then a great tailwind brought us to nirvana- banana pudding, with real bananas. That propelled us across alligator alley in Savannah NWR, then into Georgia (disappointingly no sign) and south through port into Savanna, avoiding the big bridge.  Met up with Mark and Jenn for nice dinner and walk around town.  1 flat, 3 gators, 6 raindrops and the seriously retro Thunderbird inn.  56 miles
