Georgia is lovely

As some of you may know already, Mr X and I enjoyed some time in Georgia at the end of June. I've finally managed to start putting up some pictures from the trip. It was truly a visual delight so I have tons of beautiful/fun pictures from the trip but not enough room or space or patience to post them all here. So I'm just picking and choosing a few of them for you. I'll do several posts with more pictures.

So here we go... I flew into Columbia, SC where Mr X picked me up and took me to Augusta, GA. This first picture is from a swampy area (at least it seems that way to me - but I live in the desert.) where the Battle of Rivers' Bridge happened in South Carolina.
This second picture is from downtown Augusta, GA. Mr X is posing with the statue of James Brown. What I want to know is whether this statue was life-sized or not because if so, the Godfather of Soul was rather small.


These are some beautiful houses built up along the Savannah River in Augusta. (As you'll see in later posts, I was obsessed with the houses in this part of the country.)

Mr X and I ended up hungry in the middle of nowhere at one point on our meandering way to Savannah. So we stopped at a place called "Frank's" where we had a very southern meal. It was pretty tasty even though it probably doesn't look like it from these pictures. We had barbecued pork with cole slaw and potato salad and baked beans. My favorite thing were the hush puppies.

Glad you are back posting again. My favorite picture is the food, of course. I love southern cooking. Did you have a po-boy sandwich while you were down there?

You know, I didn't have a Po-Boy sandwich. I talked big about it but never got around to it. There's only so much I could eat (I know that comes as a surprise probably). Have you had one? If so, how was it?

I have had one in my life. It was quite a while ago... the only thing I remember is that it wasn't that special, but it was really tasty.
