Day Off - Tybee Island, GA

We drove right through Savannah and headed east towards Tybee Island, Georgia, where we met up with Colin’s old friend Steve from Seattle at a place called Huckapoo’s. The spot was perfectly Southern, an authentic watering hole. After two minutes in the place I understood where the cheesy chain restaurants and tourist destinations had found their inspiration. But this place was an original, and every character in the room was vivid and memorable.

We spent a few hours at the place chatting with locals, watching the World Series, and quizzing Steve about what it is really like to live in the South. It sounds fantastic, but not without its problems, the real problems we have been thinking about all week. After a really fun night with good people we are looking forward to exploring the Island tomorrow and learning more.
