St. Mary's and Cumberland Island





After several lazy days at Jekyll Island, it was time to move on. Next stop, St. Mary's Georgia. If St. Mary's sounds familiar to many of you it is because each of the last two years we have spent our Thanksgiving holiday there. Not this year. No, we have other plans. However, we did want to pop into town and check out the second hand bookstore as well as other happenings.

After St. Mary's we moved on to Cumberland Island. Unlike Jekyll, Cumberland has seen little change since our last visit. The mature trees and spanish moss still welcome you to the island. The horses and armadillos still roam at their leisure. The ruins of the old Carnegie mansion still stands large making one wonder what it would have been like to see Dungeness in its prime. The beach is a wonder as well - stretching for miles - it is almost as if you could walk along its white sandy shores for hours uninterrupted.
