Savannah Highlights

Savannah, Georgia is a city proud of its Revolutionary history. Years ago my brother explained in a rather derisive tone that Savannah relies on its revolutionary background rather than that of the Civil War because they met Sherman at the gates to the city & turned it over to him. Many Georgians have never forgiven Savannah for remaining safe from destruction by the Union Army. I guess they wanted it burned down like Atlanta and other cities & towns that were in the path of Sherman's March to the Sea.

Savannah is a beautiful city and one I hope to return to for a better tour. It is smaller than Charleston, South Carolina, but has some of the charm exhibited in its sister city. I hope you'll enjoy this very short drive through the historic area.

After leaving the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge
we drove into Savannah from South Carolina
over this lovely suspension bridge.

From it we could see the Savannah River
and a good deal of industry along the river.

We drove into the historic area of Savannah in search of some lunch.
There are many restaurants along the water front, along with hotels and bars.

One has another view of the bridge from the walkway along the river.

All the streets in this historic area are cobblestone.

Above is a view of the Westin Hotel across the river.

There are many parks in this old area of town.
