Postcard From The Redneck Riviera

I just got back from a week on the Emerald Coast which is sometimes referred to as the "redneck riviera". In case you haven't heard of this place before it basically consists of the beach towns along the Florida Panhandle. The water is emerald green clear and the beaches are covered in pure white sand. It is the summer beach vacation of choice for folks living in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Tennessee and Arkansas. You don't run into many Marylanders there.
