Wonderful Day!

Last night I had a ball watching all the Brit comedy shows on PBS. I really miss having PBS! We're using the cable here at the campground and I think there's twp PBS stations.

We slept well last night and I was up just before 0800 and was up shortly after that. You see we had a date with Sonsearae and Chris. They were taking us on an Eco Tour after lunch.

They arrived at 1000 and we all got into our truck for the trip to Apalachicola. Driving along hwy 98 is so pleasant. Most of the time you see water. The homes and trees are pleasing to the eye and I find the ride soothing.

Our first stop was St George Island State Park. What a beautiful park and the campground would be a great place to spend some time! We may have to come back to this area soon.

We didn't stay long at the park, all the sea air was making us hungry! So we headed to Apalachicola and the Boss Oyster House. Three of us had grouper and Sonsearae had shrimp. Once we ate our fill we headed down the street to meet Captain Ed for our river tour. http://www.ecoexplorercruises.com/

The day was overcast but it didn't rain. Our guide was was informative and we all enjoyed the journey. We saw some wildlife, but mostly we saw nature at her finest.

after our river tour we stopped in the town and had coffee and dessert at Tamara's Cafe. The guys had a Caribbean banana split, see picture below. Sonsearae helped Chris eat his. I had a slice of key lime pie.

It was 1700 by the time we left Apalachicola and we were home just before 1800. Boo was really glad to see us! Sonsearae and Chris only stayed a moment then left for their home. They have to work in the morning :)

We've showered and once again I'm watching PBS .....but it's getting late and I need some beauty sleep!
