Yesterday we left Georgia and are now in Alabama heading for the Gulf Shores. We are currently in Opelik, AL. and are enjoying WiFi again. Yea Internet! Yea journals! Yea emails from family and friends. We will leave here Wednesday morning.
As I look back on Georgia, one would think we were researching a book entitled " Eat Your Way Across the USA" Endless eating out enjoying the company of good friends. We found the best service is in North Carolina and Georgia.
The COE park where we stay in Georgia is still a lovely setting, but the lake water has been drained to a very low level. It seems as though Florida needed some water and the gages were faulty and to much water wash released. It didn't effect the swimming, you only had to walk further out to get to it, but many of the home owners around the lake had problems with their boating.
Anohter thing I should mention here is the friendlyness of the southern people. People speak to you as they pass by, "How you doing today?" , "You'll have a nice day." That doesn't happen in Boston . And anoter thing, we were in Cracker Barrell the other day and the music was Western type and then "How Great Thou Are" came on. Never happen in New England.
Have a nice day. We are off to the Mobile area, somewhere!!!

Yep the water issue is a problem. The Army Corps of Engineers messed that one up.
Sorry I couldn't catch up with you this time. Maybe next time you pass through Georgia. It's been crazy. Up to a clients office and back and a solution nightmare.
But, I am thrilled that you are having such a wonderful time.
Enjoy Mobile!!!
