We stayed at Lake Griffin State Park 6 miles from The Villages. We biked with friends from Pittsburgh, to look this place over; we have to say...it lives up to everything we have heard... Big, filled with older folks, lots of golf carts...that are made to look like MB, Fords, Jaguard, etc: they have their own lanes and stop signs, but are a bit aggressive to mere bike riders. We walked through a big antique car show event. The weather has been really hot for this time of year!... read more

First things first. Our first photo on this blog was taken at the Florida Welcome Center the other day. They had a huge, touch screen machine that you posed in front of and it took your picture for free. We just got it in our email today. Cory said probably now they have sold our email to half the world! Lulu loved the family photo. Okay. Moving on. Ahhhh.....let me tell you, it was so wonderful to get back in our own sweet bed. Lulu grabbed her spot in it first. Sometimes she tends to be a bit selfish....kind of thinks of herself first. That's okay....we love her, anyway. Motel/hotels are okay.

Due to the fact that we are starting this blog a few months after the purchase of our first motorhome, Norm and I want to catch you up briefly on our past trips. Inaugural trip - Our very first foray in the luxury world of "non-tent camping", was immediately after taking delivery of our 32' rolling hotel room. Because we realized we would have many unanswered questions ( or we would have forgotten )we decided it would be prudent to venture as far as the back lot of the Dealer to spend the night, in order to try out all the different systems. Most of the next day was spent getting what we needed to tow the car, then set off to drive about 15 miles to our favorite mountain bike location in Ocala, Fl where ... read more

My friends around China and my students at Taizhou Teachers College are especially interested where I spend my much of my time, when I visit Florida, USA. This is Part I of a "three" part visit to the areas in Florida, America's "Sunshine State", where I enjoy, travel and relax during my vacation weeks. In this TravelBlog #136, let me offer "45 photos" of the loving home, the colorful flower-garden and friendly surroundings, that bring me much joy and relaxation with family and friends during my return visits to Florida, USA. A "VERY" BRIEF INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY OF FLORIDA, USA: Florida is farther South than any other state except Hawaii, so the state is the farthest South in mainland United States. At twenty-five degrees north latitude, a line that passes through Saudi Arabia, the Sahara Desert, ... read more

On Saturday, Ann and I attended the Patriots Day rememberance at Spanish Springs, The Villages, FL. We had a good time if you can have a good time at such an event, but getting together with folks to remember terrible times may help us avoid such terrible times in the future...... read more
