While parked on the outskirts of Savannah, our neighbors included these very well-fed and content chickens. Our dogs didn't care too much for them and really wanted to give chase, but we restrained them and the chickens were entirely unbothered by the ruckus.
The city of Savannah is so very beautiful and encaptures very well the image of the 'Old South'. In several locations, it's noted that General Sherman wouldn't destroy Savannah because of it's beauty and we're glad that he did not. The setting of the beautiful homes and buildings is most definitely enhanced by the vast amount and size of the trees - everywhere. There are no less that 20 squares in the city, similar to this one. Originally built as sources of water wells for neighborhoods, they are retained a individual gems throughout the city.
We ventured down to the street known as River's Edge and it was an extremely bumpy ride. The cobblestone street has it's charm and we didn't mind for the few blocks, but were very appreciative of the more advanced streets elsewhere!
On foot, it was much easier to enjoy the shops! This was one of Linda's favorites and we took the photo in honor of our friends, the Marrs family and their sweet schnauzer with Savannah as her name!
Alongside the river, this substantial park preserves several memorials and tributes.
Even the 'back' ways have their charm.
We indulged ourselves with a trip to Forsyth park with several acres of beautiful landscape and open spaces.
These homes have this park as their focal point out their front door!
And LOOOK! We found spring is on it's way!
What a restful afternoon with tons of 'eye candy' with parks, giant trees and graceful buildings - thank you, General Sherman, for leaving it alone!
