My family has a special name for my long walks in new places. They call them "LaVera Tours" It is a loving term which means: "Oh no not another all day walk about!" I am not totally merciless I do let them take bathroom and food breaks.
Why am I telling you this is? Because if you so desire to take a "LaVera Tour of Savanna Georgia" it's your lucky day. Since the LaVera Tour is through photos your feet will be spared but maybe not your pointer finger.

Savanna Georgia took me off guard. I expected it to be beautiful but it far exceeded my thoughts. My pictures do not do it justice because I can't give you the cozy sweetness of this tightly woven city canopied in large arching trees.

I also can't show you how each unique neighborhood butts up one against each other. There are changing styles ranging from classic American to Victorian and everything in-between.

I also can't share with you in my photos the beautiful sounds that make Savanna special. The different bird calls, crickets, and the bells that ring from the Churches. There is also wonderful jazz music being played in the streets and bars that make Savanna come to life with a personality all of it's own.

Beautiful details are everywhere: in the walls, on top of buildings and even on down spouts.

Alleys looked like gardens. The wonderful outdoor living was very apparent.

Spanish Moss hangs from Savanna's tall old oak trees. It's neither Spanish nor Moss. It's an air plant and is a distant relative to the pineapple. The Spanish Moss gives the trees a mysterious chandelier like look that is so unique you feel like you are in another very special world.

Gardens are grown in even the tiniest spots giving the allusion that the whole city is a garden.

Savanna was laid out in 1733 around four squares. It has now grown to 21 squares.

The squares through out the city make it a very wonderful place to walk.

Savanna at night is lit in a magical way. Music is everywhere making you just want to stay out all night and dance.

I am definitely going back to Savanna to enjoy the wonderful out door life. I want to spend more time walking the beautiful neighborhoods street by street, finishing my days eating great southern food and listening to the live music that leaks out onto the streets.
