Savannah, Georgia

May 19, 2014 by Patrick Maxton

The small town feel of the historic district of Savannah is a great area to explore on foot.  Once we had settled down at our hotel next to Forsyth Park, there was really no need to drive anywhere in the historic district.  Walking around we toured the Davenport House and all of the squares of Savannah.

We really enjoyed our meal at the Olde Pink House.

Commercial use of our images is allowed only if expressly granted by Patrick Maxton. All commercial uses will incur a licensing fee. My fees are based on the following criteria:
