This stop was my favorite: Pin Point – home to the Gullah Geechee, the descendants of enslaved people W and Central Africa. Isolated for about 100 years along the barrier islands of N and S Carolina, Georgia and Florida, they developed a unique culture and language.
Inside the oyster factory. Oysters dropped from above, waste went into the chute below. Hard work, long hours.
Next stop: St Simon’s Island, lunch at Barbara Jean’s.
Superb crab cakes, dirty rice, and grits.
We drove on and stopped at Driftwood Beach.
Our hotel for the next two night: Jekyll Island Club Resort.
Drinks at The Wharf.
We were on our way out, then stopped. We couldn’t leave before this quite good band finished “La Bamba”.
