Some Final Images from Savannah

Five years is usually considered to be a long time, but that's not necessarily the case in Savannah. We returned to find the city largely as we had left it.

The Rowdy Fun of River Street

Wright Square

After Johnson, Savannah's second square was laid out in 1733 and named after the Irish politician John Percival, who was involved in the founding of Georgia. Later, however, Percival Square was renamed in honor of Georgia's last royal governor James Wright.
