Continuing from previous post...

Later in the day I took the opportunity to ride around the small town of Apalachicola which is in close proximity to the island.








Apalachicola and other adjoining cities make their living off of the seafood industry. It is estimated (or so I heard) that 10% of the world's oyster supply comes from here.





Downtown Apalachicola. There is only one traffic light in the town!





The siding of the main bridge seems to make a handy place for locals to chuck their beer bottles, but it also makes a nice backdrop.





Back when Apalachicola was a major port town, this was the town's brothel. Now it houses a bunch of old 50's TV's for some reason unknown to me.





Evidence of the town's port history can be seen in homes like this, styled in 19th century naval inspired architecture.





For many years, this was the jail for the entire county. Mostly it housed drunken sailors and fishermen.





A war memorial in town.





The house in the background has some historical significance, but I'm not sure what it is?

Anyway, that's it for now, but there will be more rides and pictures later...
