Driving south from Georgia, we stopped at St. Simon's Island (where a G8 had once been held), and also where the men that made America once holidayed. We ate lunch at the Island Club, where I ordered a "JP Morgan" sandwich in honour of one of its former residents.
Soon after we entered "the Sunshine State" - and it started to rain almost immediately after crossing the state line. The night was spent camping in incredible heat at St. Augustine. We visited the never-conquered Spanish fort the next morning.
Today, for a fee of five dollars, we drove on Daytona Beach and swum in the pristine Atlantic. We also visited a wildlife reserve at Cape Canaveral. With NASA's space shuttle launch site as a backdrop, we saw one manatee, one 6-ft alligator, one extremely large crab, and multiple pelicans, egrets and herons.
