Heat of Apalachicola and St George Island

Today we had a very last minute invite to St George Island, right across the bay from Apalachicola. This had to be our fastest trip ever down to the coast, no wait, second fastest... we once drove down to our Orange Beach marina for Thanksgiving in 2007 only to find out their wifi was not working and then made the 4-5 hour drive right back. We were there for about 60 minutes. This time we were down there for about 20 hours. It was plenty long enough to bake in the blasting heat, read another chapter in the Bonhoeffer biography (which is incredible), take a few pics for today's Friday Feet, and make it back home.

Hard to believe how long it has been since Deborah and I have been down to the gulf. We use to go down there about once a month but it's been almost two years since we made the drive down there. I was instantly reminded why we use to go down there in December through February. The 100% humidity and 100°F weather going on right now was enough to make you run for cover.
