Moved south today on Highway 17in 30 degs. Picked up A1A Florida coastal road and now in Fernandina Beach, Amelia Island. Visited America’s smallest church in Sth Newport, Georgia. It has seating for 13 people and is used for wedding etc. I also stopped at a lay-by and notice a ruin. This was the shell of Prince William’s Parish Church, SC or, as it is known now, the Sheldon Church. This place has a nice atmosphere which is surprising as it has been burned down twice, once by the British in the Revolutionary War. The ruins are still used as a wedding venue and has one service per year. On a lighter note, I lost my hotel key last night and as it is a Bed and Breakfast Hotel, there is no reception. Terry, the owner, is a very nice bloke and I was aware he was up early to prepare breakfast so I did not phone him and thus…..I was on the porch furniture much to the delight of the mosquitoes. South tomorrow.
Tom,

We were on our way back from Asheville visiting several areas in the vicinity. We talked about Little Switzerland. My name is Andres from Jacksonville, I think its great what you're doing and I'm sure you're having a blast traveling. I hope you're Jacksonville beach trip was fun for you. I bet Miami will be a blast. Best wishes on the rest of your trip.
