Juliette, Ga. 08/28/2008


We had a great time in Juliette, where the move "Green Fried Tomatoes" was filmed. We ate at the "Whistle Stop Cafe". This is a very scenic area. Due to the needed rain from TS Fay, the water level was high and we could not explore the water fall too much. BTW, this was the only day that it did not rain while we were in Ga! I was glad that it was not too humid!

The water fall


Overall, we had a great time during our 8 day hiatus in Georgia. Even though it rained 7:8 days, the weather was gorgeous because it was unseasonably cool. The worse day was on Tuesday (08/26/2008) when I slipped and fell in a puddle of water that fried my iPhone. The phone now works as a hand-held wireless device, but does not work as a phone. I broke down and purchased the Iphone 3G/16 GB model. Thank goodness for plastic! The sad part is, Vicky slipped and fell at High Falls and broke her phone! Is this a pattern that warrants a qualitative/quanitative imperical study?

Hi Joe
The pattern of broken phones requires more careful walking, not an empirical study.
The phone company should sponsor your future trips.
Loved seeing the familiar places from the Whistlestop Cafe. Great posting. Sad for you that it was so wet.
Cheers

Hi Joe
Seems like it has been a bit wild over your way recently. Gustav and then another which went further north from you. Now I see that Ike is expected to make landfall in Florida.

"Ike" is then forecast to make landfall in south Florida on Wednesday as a major hurricane, Castillo warned."
Hope it gets downgraded, or misses you.

Yes we needs to learn to walk better! Vicky needs to learn to better maneuver on wet, moss covered rocks and I need to not be running in the rain.

(:

We have been lucky with the storms this year. We did get a break in the drought with the rains. The season is not over until the end of November and we learned that storms can be present into December!
