During our visit we saw an eagle in its nest and several alligators. I got within about six feet of a big one to snap his picture. I grateful he didn't snap me!
A one-time presidential candidate, Cap's pride in his island home is clearly evident. He loves nothing better than telling visitors why he loves this island as much as he does. We took the trolley to the Coast Guard Maritime Museum, where Curt Smith, Events Coordinator for the Coastal Georgia Historical Society, gave us a thorough overview of how the barrier islands were formed.
In less than three days, I went shrimping, toured the Maritime Museum, enjoyed a low country boil and met with several purveyors of incredibly delicious Georgia fare.
