Our trolley guy was quite funny and told us the following stories"
Buccaneers or pirates wore earrings and if had one earring that ment they had been around world one time. Two and its two times, three and its three times. Said he didn't know if that was true or not and laughted.
If a Buccaneer got drunk and passed out at the pug he was taken and put on a ship and when he woke he might be far from home and from his wife and children and may not even see his family again for years. Guess some of those guys were ok with that.ha!
Why so much moss in the tree......well we were told the buccaneers used Spanish Moss for stuffing their pillows but failed to realize that these little red bugs were inside the moss and thats where the saying got started " Don't let the bed bugs bite." ha!
Another saying when ask where Savannah got its name he said this guy was out on the river with his daughter and she fell into the water and everyone started saying "Save Anna Save Anna."....so it was called Savannah! He laughted and said thats not true he made it up! ha!
Found that the city of Savannah is made up of squares for the most part and in all there are 22 squares in the city. We saw 17 of them. Nice trip!
