What a beautiful city! The streets of Savannah are canopied with live oak trees draped with Spanish moss, there's a lush city square park every few blocks, and the riverwalk area is a delight, with all kinds of shops and restaurants tucked into historic brick buildings right along the harbor. There are all these Victorian "painted lady" homes, as well as neighborhoods that feel almost like the French Quarter of New Orleans, with intricate wrought iron balconies. The College of Art and Design seems to have a campus building everywhere you look, and the whole city feels like a designer's sensibility is behind it, from the architecture to the decorating to the landscaping. We had a great time today roaming the shops on River Street and Bay Street, and we're going back to take a historic trolley tour and a ghost tour, too.
Savannah is now on our short list of cities we'd visit again at the drop of a hat. I'll bet it's magnificent in the springtime!
