Southern Sojourn - Day 48

2008-07-25T01:50:10Z

Days 46 and 47 were so quiet as to inspire no pictures (unless you'd like to see pharmacies), but on Thursday we took a day trip to Sanibel Island to check out the campground we plan to stay at during the week of August 3.

Live at O'Shucks - Day 45

2008-07-22T05:41:08Z

I rested all day for another Karaoke session at my new favorite bar, O'Shucks Pub and Billiards on Orlando's International Drive, where I sang an eclectic selection of four songs - "You Never Even Call Me By My Name", "Missionary Man", "If I Were A Rich Man" and "Pink Cadillac". O'Shucks also features Buzztime Trivia to occupy the time between songs. If it weren't for the smoke, I might never leave.

Get Me To The Church - Day 44

My mom and I went into downtown Orlando for services at the Unitarian Church of Orlando. It's always nice to meet and worship with other UUs.

After a relaxing day of napping and watching golf and baseball on TV, I ventured out into the neighborhood for an evening walk and saw some interesting flora and fauna along the way.

Auf Wiedersehen - Day 42

2008-07-18T14:22:56Z

On the last day of our sixth week together, our travelling party split up as Kay, Kallie and Erin headed back to Baton Rouge (with Erin being dropped off in Alabama). My dad went along to help with the driving. I stayed in Florida to play in the National Scrabble Championship next weekend. Kay and Kallie will come back to Florida on August 1.

Downtown Disney - Day 41

I ran a few unphotographable errands during the day (oil change, haircut). After dinner we went to Ghirardelli Chocolates in Downtown Disney for ice cream.

Nothing Day 40

We settled in for a day of relaxation at my parents' house in Orlando. Doing nothing included taking almost no pictures.

I Saw St. Augustine - Day 39

2008-07-16T16:24:34Z

We drove from Savannah to Orlando, stopping in St. Augustine, FL for lunch and a little sightseeing along the way. St. Augustine is the oldest city in the U.S., founded in 1565. To our delight, the restaurant we chose for lunch transformed into a marine sanctuary at low tide. Most photo credit to Kallie for the St. Augustine city pictures.

Savannah Sights - Day 38

2008-07-14T23:00:13Z

We took the trolley tour of Savannah on a hot and humid day, then went back into town during the evening for dinner and entertainment.

2008-07-14T04:11:27Z

We drove from Myrtle Beach to Savannah via the small South Carolina town of Orangeburg, where I lived and worked during most of the '80s.
