In the garden of good and evil, 3rd August

Savanaah, Georgia, has many literary, musical and cinematic associations, of which the most the famous is John Berendt’s Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. It is also on the way to becoming the largest container ship terminal in the US. For us though it was the architecture and urban layout which are Savanaah’s splendours. To think, they were going to demolish the old town and replace it with some residential version of a container terminal. We did a tour on a Trolley Bus (a pretend one) and were told just about everything about Forest Gump, which was filmed in one of Savanaah’s many squares. On the debit side, we experienced the highest humidity and two torrential downpours in the five hours we had on shore.
