Our last stop on this tour was St Augustine, Florida. It felt strange being back in Florida. It was like I forgot that all the plants and foliage was so vastly different than up north, and they grow in sand, not soil. We had a … Continue readingSt Augustine, FL
I’m getting near the end of this trip. Savannah, Georgia is the next to the last stop. Savannah was a lot like Charleston, but the restoration didn’t seem to happen as early or was as strict. Have you ever heard of the book and movie … Continue readingSavannah
