What qualities make Savannah, Georgia so enticing to me as a curious traveler?

It’s no coincidence that my wife and I chose Savannah, Georgia to begin our latest road trip this weekend. For I envisioned taking more time to to sightsee on foot the “Old Town” portion of this southern city as a much anticipated followup to our past visits. I also knew ahead of time our stopover in Savannah would take place during the annual “ Juneteenth” holiday celebrating the emancipation of Black Americans from slavery’s wrath centuries ago. You might notice then in the brief set of photos below my reasoning for four conclusions I curiously absorbed on this visit.

1. Savannah’s history remains a dominant theme of our visits.

2. There’s a sense of calm escape from city life that affects me along its historic squares.

3. I sense a mystical allure radiating from magnificent tree cover along pedestrian paths. 

4. Savannah’s current culture makes sightseeing fun and convenient for all.
