 Favorites: Coconuts, the beach & the nice warm weather.

Monday Day 28
Woke up. Got food from Walmart. Drove to downtown Savannah. Went to Forsyth Park. So many trees fell down from the storm! Drove along River street. Drove to the Wildlife Reserve but it was closed. Drove to the cemetery but it was closed. Started driving to Florida. Stopped for lunch at Taco Bell. Stopped and got some Georgia peaches. Mmmm. Drove to St. Augustine Beach. Surf check. Too blown out. Tomorrow. Drove around the neighborhood looking at the damage from Matthew. So much stuff people are throwing away that was damaged by flooding. Sad. Ate dinner at the lighthouse park. Got some wifi at McDonald's. Slept at Walmart. 

Tuesday Day 29
Woke up. Had protein shakes for breakfast. Drove to Castillo de San Marcos. Was closed but we walked around. Saw a sign on the road looking for volunteers so we stopped to help. They sent us to this guy Robs house to help clean up. Turns out he grew up and is friends with with Tom Petty and the band Mudcrutch. Cool. He didn't really need our help so he sent us back to the volunteer station. Did an interview with a radio guy from Jacksonville NPR station about volunteering. They sent us to another lady's house to help. She wasn't there. We drove around asking if people if they needed help. They all said they were ok. So we tried to help out but nobody needed our help. I think we were a day or two too late to help. Left St Augustine. Drove to New Smyrna. Taco Bell/volunteer pb&js for lunch. Surf check. So windy. Debated leaving Florida cuz the weather forecast said no bueno. Decided to stay and drove to Miami. Dinner at McD. Slept at Walmart. 

Wednesday Day 30
Woke up. Ate bagels. Drove to South Beach cuz the weather was actually nice. Two hours at south beach. Drove to little Havana. Had Cuban food at Morro Castle. Cuban sandwich, empanadas, churros! Drove tCrandon Park beach on Key Biscayne. So nice. Cracked open some coconuts. Drove to planet fitness for showers. Had leftover Cuban and Taco Bell for dinner. Slept at Target.
