Savannah...Savannah...Savannah

OMG! We fell totally, absolutely, head over heels in love with Savannah, GA. She is a gracious, sensuous Southern Belle of a city and we were smitten from first glance.

As soon as one enters this city the urge to s-l-o-w down is upon you and her seductive powers are palpable. 

Everywhere you turn are stunning homes with unique architecture, spiral staircases, Corinthian columns and intricate wrought iron.

The gardens are clearly planned to encourage lingering. Benches placed in shaded corners or hidden beneath massive Willow trees. Lavendar Wisteria dripping from rooftops, trellises and host trees. The sweet smells of Jasmine, Magnolia, Lilac, Honeysuckle and Roses fill the air and the nose of every passerby.

Narrow brick streets echo with the sounds of horse and carriage. Double wide sidewalks built to accommodate the hoop skirts of old. 

Beautiful parks are everywhere encouraging one to sit quietly enjoying a book or to stroll (not run) and socialize with other similarly enchanted wanderers.

Even the cemeteries encourage one to “sit a while” to remember a loved one, contemplate life or just enjoy the view.

Savannah…you are a perfectly lovely city. I hope to see you again.
