Savannah: In the Garden of Good and Evil

ok, so neither of us has ever read the book or seen the movie, but it's the reason that Savannah has become such a tourist destination. nevermind all the history, sweet old architecture, or streets lined with trees dripping with spanish moss (not actually spanish, or moss) the historic district goes on and on, so we decided to roll in style
just to make sure there was no doubt in anyones minds that we were, in fact, tourists of these parts, we wore these stickers on the front of us that said, "give us wrong directions, we're tourists!"

when savannah was founded, there were four prohibitions, No Catholics, Whiskey, Slaves, or Lawyers.

our trolley tour guide was a hilarious black guy that gave us the literal low-down of the town, I won this token for remembering the 4 prohibitions. i think i could have turned it in somewhere for some touristy trinket thing, but i couldnt part with it.

we learned about these old buildings




hung out in the first baptist church in the country


and then became Unitarian Universalists. not sure what it means, but it didnt seem too restrictive

all in all, the garden was more good than evil, but that might just be because we took the wrong tour...
