So, I’m back from my long weekend sojourn to the opulence and beauty of what the rich folk call The Golden Isles of Georgia. And golden they are, y’all. However, rich I am not. I’m not even sure that I can afford the beach cruiser that I pedaled on around the island lined with castles, villas, and chateaus. And when I say castles, villas, and chateaus, I’m not kidding…
See the castle?
See the villa?
See the chateau?
See the peasants?

We stayed at GR’s sister’s house in Sea Island, Georgia—world famous for The Cloister resort, spa, and golf course, as well as sponsor to the 2004 G8 Summit. Clearly out of my league, but my, what a beautiful island!
And basically, we did a lot of eating at joints like this (because we are totally classy folk, and the tilapia tacos were awesome)…
…and photographed dead horseshoe crabs (it’s what the classy folk do, right?)…
…and assembled a 1000-piece puzzle (because it rained on Saturday)…
…and did some scandalous boogie-boarding on the deserted beach (where, by the way, we were questioned by an overzealous politician (aren’t they all?) about our party affiliation and the origin of our peasantry)…
So, in a chestnut shell (because that’s what peasants eat, right?), we had a wonderful, relaxing time, and I’m soooooo missing my afternoon bike ride and massage. Not that I had a massage, per se, but I am missing it nonetheless.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. May I befriend your SIL? I am a peasant, too, but a well-behaved one. I know my place.
Such a good trip…and I miss my pink bike! I’m going to sit at my desk, close my eyes, and pretend it’s happy hour on the beach!
p.s. Seriously, those were the greatest fish tacos on the planet!
That’s so funny…*I’m* missing my daily massage, too!
It looks like the peasants had a good time. I want to get your secret how you GR to actually rent a bike with you. When we went to St. Simons back in June that was one of the few things that I specifically said I wanted to do, yet somehow we never did it.
Sophie – Only if you are well-behaved…
Big H – It was an awesome pink bike. An easy ride for sippin’-n-cruisin’!
Leandra – Rent the bikes? Oh, no. They belonged to the Queen SIL. And I’m actually surprised that GR was willing to go on a bike ride! In fact, he was practically pulling us away from the puzzle to go for a spin.
i can’t beleive you got on a bike again you dare devil you. Did you fall?
Chuckles – I was a nervous wreck! And as you can see from the picture, I didn’t wear a helmet. Lucky for me, the sidewalks were paved and smooth—unlike the roads of terror in Mexico.
Bubba Garcia’s looks like a very classy place. What are you talking about?
