There are so many things to love about Savannah. The public squares (like mini parks) and the architecture are both at the top of the list. I found it very easy to get around the city as it is laid out in a grid pattern and once you learn the names of some of the squares, you have a great reference point. I also loved using the Savannah Park app and we were lucky to find good parking. But of course, we were there in November and I am sure at other times, it is not so easy.
While rural Georgia is mostly Protestant, there is a big Catholic presence in Savannah and the Cathedral Basilica is a monument to that, as well as an active church. The church was built in 1876 but destroyed by fire in 1898. The rebuild was completed by 1900 and it is breathtaking.
Below you see the Andrew Low home. Savannah, in the 1840s was an active and thriving seaport Low was a young Scottish immigrant who became one of the most successful businessmen in Georgia. He was Juliette Gordon Low’s father-in-law and Juliette lived in this house during the early years of the Girl Scouts.
This is the United States Custom House. Construction was completed in 1848. And below that, the Cotton Exchange which is right near the River.
Some Christmas decorations were starting to go up. This house really has the look.
It's interesting how Spanish it all looks there. Reminds me a bit of Mexico with the big basilicas and squares. The Spanish really knew how to build things. I'm subscribing!
