Penny in South Georgia



She wanted to learn how to swim so we practiced many hot afternoons at our local SSI public pool. Our new “Casino Pool” is great. It is located right next to the lighthouse with a spectacular beachfront view. We also took lots of walks on the beach and played in the waves. One day we visited a very uncrowded Okefenokee Swamp Park and had a close up encounter with a momma gator. We were the only tourists on the boat so we got to spend a lot of quality time with our guide’s favorite gators.

As for food –as expected- I took her to MY favorite places like Willies Weenee Wagon and Crab Trap to eat. We also went shopping for real Chinese ingredients (which are hard to impossible to find in Brunswick GA) and Penny taught me how to make pretty good fried rice. Not as good as in Hangzhou –but passable.
