completely loved how the historic district in Savannah is laid out
- every couple of blocks there are these little picturesque parks
and the houses, churches and buildings are built around them in a
square. So the houses and porches faced these beautiful little landscaped
gems, and not just another house or building. You can tell they were
built during a time when people weren't so concerned about just moving
quickly through an area, because you have to drive slowly as you traverse
these squares. Each also featured some kind of beautiful statuary,
usually of a historical figure being honored, so you were encouraged
to stop and enjoy these pleasant little respites as you maneuvered
around them. |

It
was especially nice that we also rode our bikes through the area
and really got to stop and see it all pretty thoroughly. The architecture
of that period and the grace of the buildings are fascinating to
me and of course to Don, the architect. He always has some interesting
insights into these aspects that I would not have thought of.
