Kit and Carol on the Road

Chilly 50's sort of day with COLD wind from the west. We bundled up well and set out on a bike ride. What a marvelous place for biking. The winds last night littered the trails with branches though. Today we got to see the historic center. Did I mention that the island was once a plantation and then sold to a group of millionaires for a hunting retreat. They built this huge clubhouse (now hotel) to stay in but later some built private cottages. We got to tour two of these cottages this afternoon on our trolley tour. Bet you didn't know that the first coast to coast telephone call originated on Jekyll Island. People keep telling us what a wonderful place this is and we'd love to stay longer but we are getting kicked out for Thanksgiving. There seem to be scores of people who have made Thanksgiving on Jekyll Island a tradition. We are not entirely sure where we'll be for Thanksgiving--near the Okefenokee Swamp I think.
