The rest of my trip....Statesboro and Savannah

AHHHHH vacations...they are the best! Some may not think that Statesboro ranks up there as far as dream destinations....and granted there isn't a whole hell of a lot to "do" there....unless you hang with the right crew....like Beth and Rachel....as Russian spies. My whole vacation was spent talking like a Russian spy...or like Natasha (from Rocky and Bullwinkle)...I don't know why..but it was highly amusing for all involved :)

But I get ahead of myself....the worst part about Statesboro is the coming and going parts.....they take FOREVER...but there are parts from Augusta to the Boro that are pretty scenic if you dig the whole rural south Georgia scene.

My co-pilot kind of zonked out on the journey....he would occasionally stick his nose out the window if I was going slow enough. And then of course there's the acres upon acres of peanuts or soy or cotton....

There were lots of board games and many laughs....and we got to go LETTERBOXING!!!! If you don't know what letterboxing is....there's a website you can visit...www.letterboxing.org that allows you to input your location and gives you a list of clues or directions to boxes (like THOUSANDS) nationwide that people have hidden. Inside the boxes you find a stamp and a book...you stamp your stamp in the book from the letterbox and then stamp the letterbox stamp into your book. I've tried before....but with no success...and we actually went to three places but we could only find 1 box. It's ok though....totally worth the bug bites and furtive darting into the Georgia Southern woods after dark. We looked sketch...but we brought Bernie along to ward off invaders or attackers.....and to get him out and about....the box we found was called 6 Flags over Statesboro...


Beth and Rach are work at Georgia Southern....and they're grad students...I don't know how they do it...but they love it! We would meet everyday at noon for lunch....but deciding where to go was always the toughest :) Beth's office is kind of a dungeon, though. No windows....and LOTS of crap everywhere...but she's pretty important down there in the Russell Union :)

I apologize to Beth....I know you're blurry....getting the 2 of u to hold still is IMPOSSIBLE!

Then on Thursday we got to Savannah!!! It's one of my favorite places....so sleepy and seductive and Southern. Our first destination was The Cupcake Emporium.....where they sell.....CUPCAKES!

Then we had to drive across town to go buy Beth a real bed...since apparently she'd been sleeping on an air mattress that makes thunderous fart noises (Rach's description not mine) since they'd moved in in May....I didn't know how appropriate it would be to photograph us testing out the mattresses...but Beth did snag a SWEET little Sealy lamb since she bought a bed...
And here are some pics from the drive...and that low hanging moss is part of the reason I love this city.
