Trip South. Part I--Savannah

We began our trip to Florida by going half-way and spending a morning in Savannah, Georgia. The weather was beautiful and the azaleas were in bloom. I love that Savannah is divided by these wonderful, shady, educational parks. You can stop at watch at artist at work...or read around the statue of one of Savannah's historic citizens named Oglethorpe or Forsyth, or read about George Whitefield coming and preaching there in the 1700s, or perhaps see the statue of John Wesley, who also visited there.
Here's a photo of historic Independent Presbyterian Church (PCA) in downtown. We actually have friends who worship there, but we weren't able to stay over into a Sunday. It is a magnificent and historic building. It is nice to know that it is faithful to the Truth when so many churches become merely pretty buildings over time.
There were plenty of horse-drawn carriages to slow down the pace of life. If we'd had more time, we might have done this. Perhaps next time. After a morning of walking down around town and down to the Cotton Exchange and riverfront, we were eager to hit the road for the remainder of our trip.
