Colleton State Park, South Carolina to St. Augustine, Florida


We had a pretty good sleep and the air conditioner kept is nice and cool although it does make a lot of noise. When we woke up in the morning the outside temperature was quite pleasant.

The park had a very good internet connection and we were able to upload the last four days of blog entries.

We left in good time, returning to I-95 and quickly found ourselves at the Georgia Visitor Centre. There the agent persuaded us to visit Savannah and we were glad we did! We left I-95 and took I-16 into the historic part of Savannah.  A visitor center there had inexpensive RV parking and helped us narrow down what to see.

Savannah has many squares which are the heart of the different districts. The squares often have a monument of a famous figure from Savannah or Georgia’s history. The benches and mature trees provide a lovely shade from the heat.

We saw a number of small exquisite art and clothing stores as well as cafes and restaurants.

We walked to the Savannah river promenade where we admired the beautiful Talmadge memorial bridge and Ruth got to eat the Southern fried chicken she had talked about all morning.

After lunch, we happened upon the Savannah Candy Kitchen where we saw taffy being made. Taffy was not all that was available there – a whole wall of candy, sure to delight any candy lover. We sampled extensively.

It was now time to move on – Florida awaited. We drove non-stop to St. Augustine where we are staying the the Anastasia State Park right at the Atlantic ocean.

After settling in, we went for a sunset stroll along the beach. Tomorrow we hope to go for a swim before leaving.
