Savaaaaaaannah, GA

One of Savannah's lovely, history squares and parks.  The fountain pictured here in Forsyth Park was ordered from a catalog in 1858.    I don't think it was Amazon.
We are in lovely Savannah, rich in history, beauty and humidity.  We took a trolley tour (aka bus that is disguised as a trolley) around the city, twice.  The second round was because we needed, not wanted, ice cream from a famous shop, Leopold's.  It was worth it to hear the city history twice just to get my lemon custard and orange blossom ice cream.
The homes around Savannah's square were exquisite even though many of them have been made into businesses.




We walked down by the Savannah Riverfront where there is a statue named "The Waving Girl".  The story goes that she would go down to the river each day and each night, with her beloved collies, waiting for a sailor she had fallen in love with.  He never returned.  She did this for 44 years until her death.
She needed to get a hobby…..



Paul and George's favorite place on the river.
