The town plan incorporates a garden square at the centre of every 3x3 town blocks (in the historic city). So when strolling around Savannah, you can plan your route to include lots of these beautiful gardens.

The first golf course in America was, I think, established in Savannah. So, it was only appropriate that Hodgo and I took advantage of the warm weather and got out for a round. Our first nine was at the Hunter course, on a military base, to the South of the city.
