3000 miles in 5 days! We wont be repeating that again. The weather is still a bit chilly but I’m wearing capris and a tee shirt so it’s looking up. We arrived in New Smyrna Beach just in time for dinner with Paul’s sister Cindy. I’m going to spend a couple days at her time share and Paul is off to work. We will meet up Saturday in Tampa where Cindy and another of Paul’s sisters, Nancy will be sailing on a Carnival cruisefor 5 days. Paul and I will be chillin on the beach in St. Petersburg where I have booked us a cottage for the week! It’s a good time to ditch the van for a few days and spread out.
Today Cindy and I visited the cute little town of DeLand. A very friendly town with many unique shops. We found a brewery and sat a bit, enjoying some craft beers
Persimmon Hollow Craft Brewery
Drink Sensibly, But Get Weird
That was their label, it was fun to sip some local beers while chatting g with some locals and wAt hi g the crafter working with the hops.
Local artist painted these wings in an alley way. Everyone loved them and started taking photos and now the artist has 5 sets around Florida and has all kinds of merchandise to go along. I’m glad they still let us take photos without paying.
After a nice lunch in a local diner we headed to the Blue Springs Stars Park where we watched the Manatees enjoying the warm waters of the spring.
They are beautiful to watch and the water is so clear. There was all kinds of other fish to and watching the interactions was amazing.
Tomorrow is the beach and golf!
