Thursday, October 27th.  Another nice day today.  In the low 80's.  We went back to Savannah to walk the downtown and see all of the squares.  There are about 19 such squares in the town with most having a statue or a fountain.  Most feature very old Live Oak Trees draped with Spanish Moss.   We were told that the moss is not a parasite so it doesn't harm the host tree.  It is very beautiful.  Each of the squares is named after a nationally or locally important person.  The folks that live around a square relate their location to the square...i.e.  the Madison neighborhood or the Lafayette neighborhood.  The architecture is beautiful.  But it's hard to photograph because the darned trees get in the way of the houses.  Savannah has to be one of the most beautiful cities in the nation.  We will definitely come back here again.
