here's a very blurry pic of j at sunset on st. george island. i tried it first with the flash, but it ruined the sunset & all came out black, so i think without the flash everything has to be steadier. dunno. i've never been good at photography. j is sporting one of his favorite climbing t-shirts. :)

amberjack at j & j's
hmmm... i just realized i took zero pictures of the "fancy" dinner wednesday night at w & m's house. i guess i was too busy talking to the newly arrived relatives, whom i had never met before, to take pictures. ah well. wednesday night was a fantastic dinner of roast beef, salad, & among other things, a fancy cake with actual fudge as an icing. good times! anyway, on tuesday night, j & j hosted all of us out on st. george island, with shrimp cocktail and grilled amberjack. yummy!

st. joe bay/island/spit/peninsula.?
check out this sandcastle in "large" mode (click on picture). i've never seen one so decorated before - these southerners go all out - i love it!!! we spent the late morning/early afternoon out here, and we got a little pink from our time in the sun. it felt a lot warmer - less breeze - than st. george island. on the other side of the land, the bay side (where the water is totally crystal clear), we saw an alligator. unfortunately i didn' t have my camera with me, hence no 'gator picture.

french toast.
thursday morning, the staff at the coombs house inn made us french toast, and it was delicious! they were worried that we were getting sick of their breakfast egg dishes (which we weren't), since we had been staying there since saturday, so they went out of their way to make us something a little different. if you're ever going to apalachicola, i'd highly recommend this historic bed and breakfast.

yay! grand grits!!!
these oysters preceded the "grand grits" we had all been looking forward to the whole morning. grand grits are a most creamy concoction of grits, spicy ham, shrimp, grits, lots of cream & butter & other goodness. what a great lunch!!! i'll have dreams about boss oyster for a long, long time...
yay! grand grits!!!
