Les Jones: Safe and Sound in St. Augustine

Travel > Safe and Sound in St. Augustine

Made it to St. Augustine about 9:00 PM. 536 miles on the trip odometer.

Took a sidetrip to Savannah, Georgia since it was so close to the interstate. Right across the bridge there was a tour company. Stopped in, found out that a tour was leaving in five minutes. Got on the tour. 90 minutes later we were heading back across the bridge. Fare thee well, Savannah.

Caught a great radio station on I-95. '80s and More. It had been a while since I heard The Cars on the radio. That got us most of the way to Jacksonville. I hadn't been through Jacksonville since I was a kid. It's really grown. [Back atcha. - Jacksonsville]

I'm on the second-story patio of the Pirate Haus Inn and Hostel using the wi-fi network. It's a little slow right now, so no pictures until later. Back soon.

You want some good drivin' music? Get the new Loretta Stripes Lynn album. Holy shit, it's so good. She's like 70 years old. She's a freakin' great-grandmother. But man, she can RAWK. I had really low expectations for it, and figured it would be sort of a novelty album, but it really is great -- rock & honky-tonk songs, country songs, a bluegrassy tune to mix things up -- and she really sings her heart out. The only downside is that she's not 20 years younger and getting set to go out on tour with the White Stripes.

That's the second great review I've seen of that album. I'll try to snag a copy.
