Greetings from Panama City (Florida).

We made safely to Panama City, Florida. It’s a little pearl in the northwestern Florida at the Gulf of Mexico. The city is divided into two; Panama City and Panama City Beach. The latter is currently under occupation from spring breakers drinking their minds and souls out, so obviously we’ll go have a look.

We're staying with Mark, semi-retired pharmacist, active in the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union). We're going exploring friday but for now enjoy, enjoy some of the pictures in our photo section. I know it looks perilous, but try not to worry too much about us. We are, after all, survivors Laugh

Roadtrip

We picked up the car in Atlanta and drove south. We got so hyped about it that we ended up driving all the way to Wakulla County, Florida, and will be spending the night in the Best Western Hotel in Medart. It seems like an ice hotel, and we are just about the only guests here. No pictures of the car just yet, it deserves a waterside!

On the other hand, what kind of diary would it be if we didn’t share all the action with you - so here goes. The trip from Atlanta to Florida in three sequential yet dramatic photos. Behold the splendor:

Happy Easter from Athens

24-03-08 006
Today we celebrated Easter Sunday with our host Eric and his girlfriends at Watkinsville First Baptist Church. The folder we were handed at the entrance said: "Hallelujah! He's alive!" - and it did not let us down. Pastor Carlos Sibley held an inspired sermon about Jesus, not only as the son of God, but as a real living person. Questions like "Did Jesus eat up his green beans when he was a kid?" and "Was he any good at playing hoops?" drew both laughter and applause from the crowd. As did the comparison between the beliefs that Jesus rose and that Elvis might still be alive on some deserted Pacific Island. Something not as far-fetched as it might sound when you consider the upbeat rock music that flowed live from stage between sermons.

After service Eric introduced us to the pastor, gave us a tour of the church grounds, and invited us to Easter lunch with friends and family. We were treated to good company and an abundance of food (freshly

sliced apples dipped in caramel sirup is a must-try!), and pretty much felt like we were part of the big happy family of friends that Eric hangs out with. We still are not sure what separates Baptism from other Protestant Christian churches, but whatever it is, it sure did not get in the way of openness and hospitality.

Big thanks to Eric and his friends for a great weekend - and to all you other guys, check out the church website. We have begun work on our first portrait article (about Eric, of course), and hope to have it ready for upload in a few days. Until then, keep an eye out for new blog and photo updates.
