St. Patrick’s Day in Savannah – WILD!!
Here are Rick, Cheryl and I at the HUGE city party in Savannah. It was a coincidence that we happened to arrive here the day before St. Pat’s Day, not knowing the city is famous for its wild celebration and completely closes down (even the schools)!! W…
We saw our manatee!
We traveled 122 miles south on the St Johns River to see a manatee, and here he is! We were not skunked. Sorry that Beth didn’t get to see him. More on this fellow farther along in this blog posting.The morning after I posted my last blog, Rick and I w…
Gators finally! And WOW, Jacksonville.
Look at that fellow! Rick and I meandered up a creek that flows into the St Johns River near Palatka (for those of you following us with a map), and we’ve seen three alligators. This was the only one who remained out of the water for us to photo. Sever…

Margaritaville!
We are in Key West, and boy does it live up to its reputation as a drunken party town! We arrived yesterday evening, and walked to the “hot” street, Duval St. So many open-air bars with live music, T-shirt shops, bars, souvenir shops, bars, and yes, Ji…
