Amelia River Cruise

 This is looking down the street of Fernidina Beach. Pretty much just a one street town. Very quaint.
 This was our captain and tour guide on the river cruise. He was Jeff Gordan's twin. Even talked like him. The cruise was 2 hours long and very informative of the area.
 This is a mill where they grind up the trees to make paper bags.
 The black clumps along the shore are oyster beds.
 Can't remember what this bird is called, but they are pink like a flamingo. The more shrimp they eat, the pinker they get. 
 This is just one of the houses on Cumberland Island. Only the really wealthy have houses on the island. 
 This is view of Fort Clinch from the water, that we went to on Sunday.


 We we able to see several of the wild horses on the island.








 This house is still owned by one of the original family members that bought the island in the 1800's
The Greyfield Inn is an exclusive hotel on the island. It costs $600 a night to stay there. Several weddings are done there throughout the year. Wedding package starts at $47,000.00 for 75 guests. http://www.greyfieldinn.com/weddings3.html
