Today we left Savannah without being able to spend time with our family. The entire family is very sick but we wanted to at least see them and also pick up all the mail we’ve had sent to their address this past month. So, we packed up and drove to Maria’s house to say goodbye from a distance.
We wore gloves and a mask. They wore winter gloves and put scarves around their necks, covering their mouths. Maria had sprayed all the mail with Lysol just in case any germs were on the packages. With virtual hugs and a waves goodbye, we left. We will be back another time to see them.
We’re heading west, beginning our slow 5-month drive home. We’ve camped about 1.5 hours west of Savannah in a small town, in a small state park with 28 campsites, a small lake and the usual resident alligators. A neat feature of all the Georgia state parks we’ve camped at, other than alligators, is the presence of swings and we've tried to take advantage of them!
