Savannah

We arrived in Savannah with the car temperature guage reading 106! That's the hottest it has been, an all time record!

Savannah has a different feel to Charleston, first it appears larger and this time we are staying on the waterfront. The architecture is even more impressive as the town is arranged around 24 beautiful squares complete with live oaks draped with Spanish moss, iron fountains and wrought iron railings decorating the space. Designed by English colonist James Oglethorpe, Savannah is rich in architectual history and beauty.

On the trolley tour we saw houses owned by the founder of the American Girl Scouts and Jim Williams, the antique dealer who murdered his lover, whose story features in the book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. This book put Savannah firmly on the tourist map about 17 years ago.
