Maria













Okay, so Maria is not the same as Mary, but today we visited the quaint town of St. Mary's, GA. This sleepy coastal town is at the bottom of the state. You can look across the river and see Amelia Island, FL. Our first stop was the visitor's center and then a tour in an extended golf cart. We saw several beautiful old homes and many picture perfect churches. Also an interesting cemetery and lots of 100 year old live oak trees as well as the largest oleanders I've ever seen. Very pretty and lots of history made during the War of 1812 and the Civil War.

We stopped in at the Submarine Museum and found this to be a fascinating place with a great film about Trident Subs. Lots of submarine memorabilia and a real periscope where I was able to look out at the street. After a delicious lunch with the RV group we went to the Cumberland Island Museum and learned about this southernmost island off the Georgia Coast. We'll be going over there on Wednesday.

Came back to the campground and relaxed and later met for happy hour and then a rousing campfire where Jeff played his guitar and led the singing. Lots of fun!
