Savannah, Georgia















I have a backlog of posts to make, so will start with our return visit to Savannah. This is our fifth visit, and if any place could make me move from New England, this would be it. Sure, it has hot weather much of the year, but the proliferation of shady squares makes it feel cool. We usually visit in the winter, and the vegetation still feel lush and green.


This time we stayed at the Hilton Desoto (apparently there is still bad feeling about this hotel since it replace a large Victorian hotel during a "renewal" phase), but the location was great, and although we didn't need to take advantage of it this trip, it is dog friendly! We arrived during a torrential rain, so it was nice to just pull into the garage underneath, and dine in at their Friday night low country seafood buffet.


The weather improved for the rest of our stay, so we did our usual visits to historic house museums, plus just wandering the streets and squares.
