Paddling in Georgia - Day 3

Our first stop today was at the Lutheran Church at the now-deserted community of Ebenezer on the Savannah River.  The Salzburg Lutherans who founded the community raised silkworms and wove silk to make part of their income.  The church itself is still active.




Then we drove nearby to put the boats into Ebenezer Creek, a tributary of the Savannah River.  According to our guides the water was lower than they usually see it, so the cypress trees loomed over us.  It was very neat.






Late in the afternoon we arrived at our next lodging, the 907 B&B in Walterboro, SC.
