Savannah, Georgia

Savannah is a wonderful place to spend a weekend, even in the cold months. You can spend a Saturday in February walking on the beach shells and even a good sized sand dollar can be found.

After you're finished with the beach, You can take a trolley tour of the town, or just follow behind to get a good view of this beautiful city. I've never seen a downtown so nice. I really just wanted to get out and walk around, but on my visit, I had little time to spend. The city was built on a plan, and has about 20 small squares, one every other block in the old part of town. Each square is filled with Live Oaks, some of which are grown with Spanish Moss. Live Oaks live to be very old and get to be rather huge. They are also evergreens, so they will still have their leaves in winter. Many of the squares have their own church, each one different from the last, but all of which are very beautiful. All the homes are also beautiful, with lots of wrought iron and wood. Someone with a little more time than I had might visit one of the forts there, take a trolley tour, and visit the cemetary with the famous statue featured in "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil". I'm definitely going to have to go back, to really tell you anything about it, but it's a beautiful college city by the coast with many places to eat and some interesting things to do, that should speak for itself.
