We loved the city planning here. The historic downtown is a grid with 22 public parks at regular intersections. We took a 90 minute trolley tour. My favorite fact was that when Savannah was founded, there were four prohibitions.
1. No Catholic services (even though early colonies promoted religious freedom, this settlement wanted to avoid any sympathies to the Spanish in the south.)
2. No hard liquor.
3. No slavery! (this only lasted 20 years, sadly. I think the alcohol rule was even shorter.)
4. No lawyers. (The founder thought lawyers made everything take too long. He said people could represent themselves in court.)
We are camping for four nights in a row. Sunday morning, we attended a Methodist church service that was conveniently right next to the campground.
