The next day we went into Jacksonville. Since it was a Sunday, we stopped by a church to speak to people. We met a lovely high church Anglican in sandals in a suburb. He told us that a good thing…
Day 69: Southern South Carolina & Savannah, Georgia
Before getting to Georgia, we stopped off at the Port Royal Sound Foundation, which is a maritime education center. We spoke to a very lovely woman with an excellent accent. She has one of those non-rhotic Southern accents like in films…
Day 68 Part 2: Beaufort, South Carolina
We carried on down the road so we could cross into Georgia the next day. We found some fairly mad and/or nice things along the way. We saw a sign for some peach cider (American meaning of cider, so non-alcoholic).…
Day 68 Part 1: Charleston, South Carolina

Days 61-62: Pittsboro & Siler City, North Carolina
We finally got going again. We started gently by spending the afternoon in the nearest town, Pittsboro. We had lunch in town, and once again, I had a really excellent mac and cheese. It has become wildly popular since I was…
Days 47-60: A Break in the Woods of North Carolina
We stayed with Chris’s uni friend and his family in a large house in the middle of a forest: We mainly caught up on video editing and watched Netflix : We only briefly went into the surrounding towns, mainly to pick…
