WELCOME TO CAIRO, GEORGIA
Our family moved here three years ago from Tallahassee, Florida. Not really much of a move geographically (Tallahassee is only 30 minutes south of us) but nearly a world away culturally. In Tallahassee we had wall to wall neighbors (after nine years we still didn't know their names), lived in a shoebox and spent 30 minutes fighting traffic to leave our subdivision in the morning. Not in Cairo. We now have 10 acres, two ponds, a 2,800 square foot home, chickens, a garden and all the amenities of farm life; all for roughly what we sold our shoebox for in Tallahassee. Our neighbors are hard working and pleasant farmers who have gone out of their way to help our citified family adjust to life in the country. Today was hot. The temperature got up to 89 degrees but (like it says on the Weather Channel) it felt like 95. We had one of those strange southern Georgia rains where the sun was shining, not a cloud in the sky, but it rained like crazy.I hope you enjoy the comments and pictures of our life here in Cairo, Georgia. Oh, by the way, the natives in Cairo pronounce it Kay-row.

Thanks so much for sharing your great blog, and for linking mine, Vanishing South Georgia to your pages. I've gotten some traffic from it, and when I add links to mine in the near future, I'll add you. It' so great to see people doing positive things in South Georgia, and as I feel we've always been a region neglected by the media, blogs like yours and mine give us a new presence.
Thanks,
