Savannah GA (1) – A Gorgeous City
What drew us to this particular place was our appreciation of the movie, “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil”. There was something about the heat and character of the city that was so pronounced in the film. We knew it had to be one of our vacation destinations. Not only the laid-back vibe made this trip most relaxing, but the history added interest and the passion of the paranormal added excitement.
The following photos are mainly shot in the Historic District which is full of charm and character.
