We decided to kick around the area today and started with a
visit to St George Island. The island is a barrier island and reached by a very
impressive bridge. We pulled in first at the lighthouse, which was located on
Little St George Island, but fell down in 2005 and was recovered and rebuilt in
the current location. Nice view from the top and an interesting museum in the
lighthouse keepers cottage.
We drove from one end of the island to the other for the
views, lots to see. Lunch at The Blue Parrot was lovely, lots of seafood and
very friendly staff. We had a mixed seafood platter and snow crab.
After lunch we walked on the beach, then headed off the
island and to the town of Apalachicola (no, we can’t pronounce it!). We browsed
the arty shops and sampled chocolates at the local chocolatier. All very
quaint.
