Well, then, Dutchman. I'll just have to sing for you.
Hoverin' by my suitcase, tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night
Heavy rain fallin', seems I hear your voice callin' "It's all right."
A rainy night in Georgia, a rainy night in Georgia
It seems like it's rainin' all over the world.
You have a beautiful Soprano voice Letty, keep on singing whilst I search.
Actually, Dutchy, it's more of an alto, honey.
Ah, thinking of barrier islands, with Georgia on my mind.
I have figured out it is on an island somewhere but just can't locate it. Has it something to do with the slave period?
Yes, Dutchy. Remember, I became inspired to post this place because of a song played on the radio thread.
So, to recap: A dialect. A barrier island off Georgia. A ruin. a tabby cat.
and a Brit who bought it.
Sorry Letty the brain is just not willing but will keep trying.
I can make gulla dialect from that but .......???
Right, Dutchy. Gullah dialect...barrier islands...Georgia..ruin....
further hint:
What a tree exudes +elo.
That's it, Dutchy. Your turn.
The ruins are called Tabby.

Where am I?
(I won't be on line for next 12 hours)
dutchy has pm'd the details of his pic so guess away folks.
no takers? I could sell the answer..... dutchy would be non the wiser.
oh wait.........
Where is that Aussie? Oh, there he is smoking a cigarette. Hey, d.p. that place may be California or Florida or some other place with palm trees.
So, I am gonna guess the U.S.
Afternoon Letty, I'm back on deck and will continue. You are right , the US it is.
Hey, Dutchy. Well, Is it California?
