i've said it before and i'll say it again-- i love the south. i love the south.
i've spent the past few days in savannah, ga, and here are several examples of why it rocks:
.spanish moss on every tree
.a continued dedication to the fallen south, including lore of the terrible things the union army did to the city
.many many many parks and squares, which create interesting traffic circles
.the founding of the girl scouts
.being greeted by every person i pass on the street
.pirate stories, ballast stone paved streets, nautical romanticism
.piggly wiggly
.cheap cigarettes
today i went to charleston and spent a few hours just walking around, trying to not look like a tourist. the city is absolutely gorgeous, and every corned i turned opened a new avenue of colonial facades and a sense of history and beauty. there is something rather sleepy about the streets i've been walking, and it's very comforting.
que tal?
ReplyDeleteAnna,
ReplyDeleteI think it's great that you got to spend some time in my birth city, Savannah, GA. Other than living there until I was three years old, I was only able to visit a handful of times. Regardless of my inexperience with the city, there is a reason why I am proud to be of Savannah stock. That reason has everything to do with it's warmness, parks, pirate fables, candy shops, big ole houses, etc...
Miss you!
