Savannah Georgia!

Well Paul and I made our way to Savannah, GA. I am so glad we did, it had so much fun Southern character that the city of Atlanta just doesn't have. It is one of the oldest cities in the South with tons of history, neat mixtures of architecture, beautiful foilage, and a beach nearby. We were cheap on hotel and touristy stuff, but ate good food and enjoyed just walking around and hanging out at the beach. Here are some pictures:





Here are some pictures from Tybee Island, the beach 10 miles or so from Savannah. It was windy but warm and much to Paul's delight he got to surf. I sat on a swing and just soaked in the sun.



















Here is the cathedral in Savannah, it is the oldest Catholic church in Georgia.















A pretty example of all the historic inns scattered through the historic district.































One of 20+ plazas in the historic district. This is a large one, most are really small and provide little mini parks throughout the city.














This is what all the streets look like. They are gorgeous! Huge oak trees line the streets and meet over head to form a canopy. All the Spanish moss hanging down is really neat...and really creepy at night!









Ok this post is getting unwieldy, the pictures are not easy to maneuver. I will post a second one with more pictures
