we hit the road on saturday morning. the next stop was in parrot, georgia. parrot was the site for a long admired and much loved movie... ummm what was it now...oh yeah... "the longriders" i believe. quite a memorable saga. starring all of the carridine family and many other notables. it is a quiet little burg with a bar-b-que cafe in which we enjoyed lunch. rick's bar-b-que was the name of the place. we shared the dining room with june who was having her birthday lunch with a friend. june is a portrait painter who has a studio/gallery in the old bank building... the one with the columns... two white ones and a tree just above. quite a nice peaceful town with old brick buildings. land for the town was donated by a guy named parrot in 1887 and has remained largely unchanged ever since. seems no need to change it. the cafe featured a decapitated deer with a stuffed catfish in the corner... a nice touch.
