Georgia Downs

So, for those of you who don't know, Zach and I have had some disappointments. We were pulled over in Georgia for no reason at all, and then questioned ridiculously, and searched, and I was given a bogus traffic warning. Me! A traffic warning! I've never even had a speeding ticket. And frankly, this little encounter really bummed us out. But we've journeyed on. Internet is a bit scarce so I am using my free wi-fi time mostly to research things for us to do in the area and, sadly, neglecting the blog a bit. But, you should know that Zach and I spent an awesome afternoon in St. Augustine, which is a beautiful city, and spent 2 nights at the St. Augustine Flying J, which is a truck and RV stop, for free! And there, Zach and I showered for $10 (Ok, so it was supposed to be $10 per person, but I sort of snuck in). And when we woke up in the morning, there was another skoolie parked behind us! Then we charged all the way south to Key West, of which I have plenty of pictures, but none of which will be posted right now because my camera is stuck in the drawer behind 60 gallons of waste vegeatable oil we just picked up from the kindest person we've met in Florida. Thank you Charlie of Sarasota! So here we are in Sarasota for the evening, currently sipping some tea in Starbucks before we head back out into the cold (come on already with this weather, we drove all the way to the southernmost point of the U.S. and it was still flipping 50 degrees!). On the agenda for this evening: filtering oil, food, maybe walking around what looks like a very artsy little city, and then so much sleep. Don't lose hope, there are tropical photos to come!


P.S. Birds in Florida are infinetly cooler than birds in the Northeast, and we saw way more alligators than I feel comfortable with.
