Sapelo, one of Georgia's
Barrier Islands, has long been on our weekend getaway list. Shannan and I have
interest in the culture, history and eco-system of the small Island. Unlike
many of our peers, our desire to visit Sapelo is purely academic. In
fact, the Bilali Document that is in the Hearsay Exhibit I co-curated originated
in Sapelo. It is arguably the oldest Arabic script in North America.
Shannan and I stayed in
nearby Savannah rather than on the Island as we are not beach people. Oddly, while
on Sapelo we took a half day tour. As is the case with so many of these
outings, the last portion allowed for free time on the beach. We used this
time to walk and discuss what we had learned and experienced and I took a short
run. It was nice to cruise along the beach on a warm summer day.
Whatever your interest
may be, take a trip to Sapelo Island. It's a true gem along Georgia's coast.
Experience. Learn. Run.
Tom
