Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Early this morning we packed up the car and took Sirius to Camp Green Dog. We headed south on I-95 and then Route 17 to St. Simon's Island off the southern coast of Georgia. We met Jan and Harvey and stayed overnight with them in an apartment they had rented for a few days. It was a pretty property with beach access, although we did not go to the beach or pool. We did go to the downtown street and had lunch at Brogen's with was recommended for their burgers and onion rings.

Then we walked to the pier and took a trolley tour which was entertaining and educational. We learned much about the Spanish invaders who threatened the English during the Revolutionary War era. We visited the marsh where the battle depicted in the movie Glory took place and also the old lighthouse.

We rode down a beautiful drive lined with ancient live oak trees creating a tunnel and gorgeous scenery.

We met up with Jan and Harvey and went to Iguana's for dinner. They are known for the best fried shrimp and we all found that to be true. There was a short rain storm which gave a beautiful rainbow.

After some walking on the pier and an ice cream we witnessed a magnificent sunset.
