There are some beautiful historic buildings around downtown Augusta. One of the churches is St. Paul's Episcopal Church. It was established in 1750 and is still in use today.
I love the large windows, and although I didn't have the chance to go inside I am sure the stained-glass images are gorgeous.
I would have loved to lie on my back at the base of the bell tower, framed in a beautiful blue sky with puffs of cloud, and pondered the depths of the heavens. With my restored girth, I would have been mistaken for a man in need of medical attention and caused quite a stir, so I restrained myself.
A graveyard with weathered and broken tombstones, one I noticed dated back to 1708, graced the grounds around the building. Most of the stones are illegible. The stones I could read gave me a glimpse into the people who lived in Augusta 200-300 years ago.
