Let's take a Journey - Georgia Edition!

 A couple of days ago I posted about my trip out of Florida. Obviously I then made my way into Georgia because it's the only way out. Georgia is honestly a beautiful place, but I would never live there.

A poster that says "Georgia's not buying it. Child sex trafficking. There's no excuse

This is the only state I passed through that had anything similar in it's rest stops and welcome centers, so I have to imagine there's a reason and it's that a non-zero number of Georgians are, in fact, buying it. I'm sure this is an issue in every state, but I just feel like this isn't really the best way to tackle such a sensetive topic, but thanks for trying, Georgia.

An informational board about the Cumberland Island National Seashore

I did like that they were hyping up their national parks, but unfortunately, I didn't have time to check any of it out. Also, it was like 100 degrees out, so I had 0 desire to even be in nature, but I liked the thought.

A river we crossed over traveling through Georgia

It's incredibly hard to get good photos while driving (no, not me, my Spouse was taking them, but at 70 mph it doesn't really matter because once you focus on one thing, you're already past it), but the rivers in Georgia were so beautiful. The water was clear and blue, and the sky seems to perfectly mirror it; if the bridge was raised by a story or two, it felt like you could see forever.

Me, looking like a melting creamsicle, pointing at a sign

Please excuse how much I resemble the wicked witch of the... west? east? whichever way she was from. The one that melted, not the one the house fell on, though I kind of resemble her too, actually. Anyway, it was 105 degrees, my car's air conditioner decided that was just too much for it and was pumping out air that was about 95 degrees, which, in fairness to my car was cooler, just not as cool as it needed to be, and I legitimately felt like I might have been dying. But we stopped outside Savannah, Georgia at a place I ate at almost daily during my time working there for the census: Flacco's Tacos. When I say those tacos were spicy... πŸ”₯πŸŒΆπŸ‘… They had really good elotes too! If you're in the area, I highly, highly recommend.

We also spent like an hour driving around Savannah's historic district and looking at all the cool buildings, but I didn't get any photos of that because the traffic was insane for the middle of the day in summer, like, where was everybody going? So people behind me kept honking and encouraging me to gtfo of the area so we did. And that's what I did in Georgia.
