Thankfully the hot and humid spell broke last night. It fell to around 13C overnight and reached around 24C today with a much lower humidity.
Today we took off to St Simons Island, which is about 10 miles away on the coastal side of Brunswick. Unlike Jekyll. Is this one was “Free” It is obviously a place for those with money, large well kept houses and property in many areas and an airport full of expensive toys, Gulfstream IV and V’s citations etc. No control tower though, wonder if I could start one up and charge a reasonable rate for my services??
As I mentioned earlier there is the Georgia – Florida football match this weekend, which is accompanied by the “Worlds Largest Open Air Cocktail Party”, which coincides with the Fall break at Georgia U. We went for a quiet wander down the beach, only to find hundreds of students and their associated beer coolers already entrenched on the beach. Now we know why there was a large police presence as we entered the parking lot! On entering the beach the coolers were inspected by the police, not as I originally thought for booze, but to ensure there were no glass containers. The police were also handing out garbage bags to encourage the students to clean up themselves. The students and police seemed to get on very well.
We then went in search of a quilt shop that Lyn had read about on the web, unfortunately we found it. On the plus side the store was only about 50m from the runway at the airport.
One thing that has surprised me about the blog is how many hits it gets, around 50 per day. Only about 15 people were given the address of the site, so I guess it must be on some search engines, not an issue, just an observation.
