Georgia is really starting to grow on us. The people are so nice and friendly, and the weather is pretty nice too. Everywhere we go folks smile and wave, and tell us to have a blessed day.
We usually play tourist on Sundays, and recently we drove over to St. Simons Lighthouse. We went up to the top and toured the nice little museum in the old light keeper's house.
Then we wandered over to the public pier and found this character sitting on the railing waiting for a handout from any cooperative fisherman. He was quite tame and lots of tourists were taking selfies with him. Georgia is friendly like that.
It's azalea season here in Georgia. They grow like weeds, often reaching 10' tall! They are planted everywhere and often thrive in the woods with no obvious care. Huge clumps of them create spectacular displays along the roads.
We also visited Fort Frederica which was established in 1736, and saw a decisive battle between the British and the Spanish forces which came from Castillo de San Marco in St. Augustine, Florida.
The shallow marshes of Georgia, that make running aground on the ICW so easy, create some beautiful views in the early morning. This is the view from our deck this morning.
Georgia is really starting to grow on us. Y'all have a blessed day now, hear?
