Savannah is as charming and picturesque as you might imagine. If you are like us you like to stop and read historical markers. Do that in Savannah and you go nowhere fast, there are that many. We took a trolley tour to get an overview and allow us to somewhat plan our walking tour. These trolley tours allow for getting on and off at various stops. In addition they cover multiple days. Great way to see crowded, unfamiliar cities in our opinion. It was a hopping day, a lot of people dining at the many restaurants, most with sidewalk table options.
I will break up today into multiple post. Being Sunday, this post will focus on church and cemetery.
Many of our friends are of the Catholic faith. If one visits historical locations, by and large any churches will be Catholic based. I will say this, Catholics KNOW how to build churches. In case you wonder I never use a flash inside a sanctuary.
We waited outside to enter as a late Mass in Latin was ending. They have a large pipe organ that sounded beautiful.
We then walked over to an old cemetery. No, not the more famous Bonaventure cemetery. Weather permitting that is for another day.
Not sure if you can read the inscription but it is for a 17 year old who died in 1770
More on Savannah later. We have been very fortunate the past 2 plus months weather wise. According to the weather folks our luck has run out here in Savannah. We shall play it day by day.
