Savannah

Greg:
The morning after going to Charleston, we drove to Savannah and spent a few hours there. Savannah is organized around about 20 lavishly decorated squares, which makes for a beautiful and very walkable city. Every street is lined with trees that look like weeping willows, each of which is covered in Spanish moss ("witches hair") which gives the town a southern flair. And yes, the trees are good for climbing.

We found that the city is actually quite young, hip, and yuppee. Shana was impressed with all the pita and smoothie places. Best of all, Savannah includes one of the five places in the US where you can walk on the street with an open container. Said place is River St (aka, bar row). We enjoyed walking up and down it, but unfortunately we didn't have the chance to try the 35 cent raw oysters at some of the bars there.
