Welcome to
Here in Chippawah Square Jenny and Bob pose as Forest Gump where the filming took place.
Talmadge Memorial cable-stayed bridge.These beautiful bridges are very common in the south.
The Olympia Cafe was voted our best so far on this trip. Served with pita bread and fries, the Calamari melted in our mouths and only for a cost of $8.00
It seemed like the highway had constant grooves in the pavement. We couldn't figure it out until we
started spotting all the blown out tires along the roadside. It became very evident that it was the wheel rims that were making the groove.
We were very impressed with this city and the way the founding fathers laid it out. Every few blocks were squares where you could sit and relax.
The water front district.
Part of our day was spent in Brunswick Ga where Bob learned how to be an Air Traffic Controller while serving in the Navy 39 years ago. I was totally amazed that I was able to find that house.
First Southern Baptist church in Brunswick.
Bob sitting in a bench under an old oak tree that is no doubt older than the city which was founded in 1771. Love that moss!
Old historic lighthouse on Saint Simons Island.
Hercules paper plant. What a smell that was.
