It’s just a fun name to say…isn’t it? AMICALOLA…Amicalola…I dare you…say it out loud! Anyhow…before leaving Georgia, Lara & Greg took us to these Falls! Looking preggo, now! Blisters…oh, I mean…SISTERS… don’t we look alike?!! Or not… The family…and our phantom spirit… On the way there, we took a weird turn, and found ourselves at a Kangaroo...
