Day 13 - Savannah
Spent most of the day at the Pin Point Museum. The museum is a former crab and oyster processing factory. All the work was done by hand in cold and difficult conditions. Photo is off the building that was where the women picked crabs, but now has exhibits.The community was and is a very close-knit Gullah- Geechee community. Our docent grew up in the community and still lives there, though has a "regular" day job and doesn't have to pick crabs for a living. She was an excellent story teller and talked about the seafood processing, the culture in general, religion, and language from the perspective of one who grew up with it.
Then back to the historic district to wander around and find lunch that had become dinner (crab cake sandwich, because of course we had to have crab after that).
