Lighthouse
The lighthouse was beautiful. Bet you are disappointed that you didn't get to climb to the top. Yeah, right! You must have enjoyed the museum since you took so many pictures. Enjoy your stay in New Orleans.

Yeah, it took some convincing. We actually passed quite a few big antique malls but that was the first we've stopped at. He did enjoy looking at the old photos and postcards, so hopefully I'll get him into one or two more before the trip is over!

Antique Store
Wow, you actually got Chris into an antique store? Wish I could have been there.... I don't remember going to any antique stores when we were on our trip in 1983. Pensacola looks like an interesting city. Dinner looked good. Now we are hungry, but it is time for bed...

Thanks for the Alabama tips! I'm not sure what we'll end up doing yet. We might stay a day in Biloxi, Mississippi since it's right in the middle of Mobile and New Orleans. Yep, and I think we ate at more than one Friendly's if I remember right. The free dessert was definitely the best part!

I do like the architecture of the old capitol buildings...the newer looking ones are pretty boring in comparison. Yep, I remembered eating at that Cracker Barrel (and I think I ordered the exact same thing!). We missed the Everglades because it fell in the middle of our trying to get out of the expensive part of Florida. I was hoping to find something similar up this way, but no luck so far. Maybe we'll come across something on the way across the top. I know...hopefully Peru won't go by so quickly!

Hee hee...yes, dessert for breakfast is the best! Yeah, I had high hopes for finding some sort of treasure at the Swap Shop...maybe we just got there too late. Ah well, at least I saved some money!

Hahaha...we're going back to Dunkin Donuts today! It's the cheapest and better than McD's at least. I'll have to look up who Mickey Spillanish is now!

Dessert for breakfast, a sure sign it's a holiday! Being a grown-up is great because people can't tell you not to do things like that. Th Swap-Shop looks like it could have been an ace place to snoop around, it is a shame it was mainly knock-off goods. But you're blogs continue to make me hungry with all the tasty food you eat on your travels :D

They didn't sell fried green tomatoes! Although I'm not sure I would have been brave enough to try them if they had. And yes, it is very blue here! In South Florida anyway...it's right across from the Bahamas!

It felt very Spanish to me, which is funny since I've never been to Spain! hahaha

No, no paddling or wave jumping. I'm a bit afraid of the water (there are sharks out there!), but the sand is certainly wonderful for walking/running on. Hee hee...yes, that margarita was yummy (and more expensive than my food!)

Florida looks very blue, and the grilled cheese looks very nice. Disappointed you didn't have Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Bar and Grill :D Looks like you're having a fantastic and relaxing time with all the laid back feet shots, they makeme chuckle. Hurrah!

P.S.
Meant to say that Espanola Way does look very like the holiday villa style you get in Spain.

Did you go for a paddle and jumping waves? They look like marvellous sandy beaches for running around on, English beaches are full of pebbles. I notice the Margarita was nearly all gone before you even started on the meal! Hahahaha. It looks colourful and tasty though.

Hahaha...probably not! Yep, we ate outside. The whole street reminded me of Europe (I think it was supposed to be like a little Spain), which was probably what drew me to it. There were also a lot of Europeans staying in the area too...it probably reminded them of home!

Second Attempt
I think someone else got our comment on their blog. It came up on the screen "error." They are probably wondering about the topless beach comment. Oh well, did Chris see the beautiful beaches past the topless sunbathers? The restaurant looked good. Did you eat outside? So far your trip seems to be going well. Hope it continues.

Yes, it was a perfect day for exploring, and what a perfect place to explore!

Yes, the weather has been perfect so far! Although Miami Beach is terribly windy. I thought I was in Chicago for a second! No, the car isn't ugly, just too big. And it's almost impossible to see out of the side or back windows so you have to rely on the mirrors. I've gotten used to it though!

WOW! Those are magnificent photos you've taken of Coral Castle, it looks like a fantastic place to explore, and such a glorious day for exploring! I had a square pizza for the first time last week. It's hip to be square!

Interesting
The castle definitely looked fascinating. Also looks like you are having great weather. By the way, we don't think your vehicle is ugly...

Hee hee...I'm sure it will be nice and dirty by the time we return it! =D

Wow, that place looks so cool. Like being in a Bond villain's hideout, complete with vultures outside to be fed to! Glad to hear you survived the motel.

Ooooooooh, Dinner looks tasty. I'm wanting mexican now. Thats a HUGE vehicle. It doesn't look right being so clean either, you need to run through some puddles to get some mud splatters going. Looking forward to following your adventures again :D

Oops...thanks for the spelling correction! Fortunately it was quiet all night after all. I guess we got the "good" side of the motel, although the inside of the rooms leave something to be desired as well. Guess you get what you pay for!
