Day 37: Georgia

Before dinner last night I drove around the state capital in Tallahassee. Again, no bias, but Vermont still has the most impressive State Capital I have seen.

From Tallahassee I drove north to the town of Thomasville, GA. My guidebook steered me towards Plantation Country and specifically Pebble Hill Plantation. It’s supposed to be one of the most spectacular ones in the area.  I was too early by and hour and half, so I took the picture below and kept going.

The good think about heading to Thomasville is that it got me off the interstate and I followed a good road, two lanes in both directions all the way to Savanah.  There were a few towns, like Valdosta along the way. Very nice country.

Savanah is one of the few towns on this trip that I have been to recently. Michele and I came here 2 years ago, and we really liked it.  When we were here it was early December, so I am surprised how busy it is now, and I see a lot of families, so it must be that same thing where people are travelling because their kids can do school online.

For my mask report – I was glad to see all the stores and gas stations have masks required signs. In Savanah there are signs that masks are mandatory, even outside as you can see by the picture below.  The bad news is that less that 50% of the people are following the order.  I was watching at a gas station where person after person was going into the store with their mask around their neck or their chin, some just holding it in their hand.
