Musical artist, Stephanie Yonskie, who sang country legend songs for cruise attendees last evening, joined us for breakfast.
After breakfast, Susan, Nelson, and Cecile and I, hopped on the "Old Town Trolley" right where the ship was docked, to begin a fully narrated sightseeing tour of Savannah. The expert tour conductors related the stories, sights, and landmarks of Georgia’s First City. With its emerald tree canopy, quaint cobblestone streets, and majestic architecture, Savannah’s Historic District was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966.
Nelson made lunch reservations at “The Pirates’ House, the longest running pirate-themed restaurant offering hearty Southern fare in a rustic, historic Inn. It was first opened in 1753 as an inn for seafarers, and quickly became a meeting point for sailors and pirates from the Seven Seas.
After returning to the American Liberty, we caught a post dinner show with piano maestro, Steve Maddux who performed nostalgic songs from the 50s & 60s. After the show he came over to say hello. We talked about Frank Sinatra, favored son of Hoboken, NJ., the hometown of my youth. Maddux said he did a gig in Elysian Fields, a recreational parkland two blocks from my childhood home. He was born in 1950 as I was, and said he has a son named Dennis. Before we bid each other farewell, we took a photo together.
