Tampa to Baton Rouge

---

Hi Again,

We got off early this morning and drove from Tampa to Baton Rouge. We found a Holiday Inn Select and are just heading off to dinner.
Tomorrow we are going to tour a plantation and see some alligators, then complete our trip to Houston.

Yesterday we went to Pass-a-Grille at the end of St. Pete's beach and took a boat to Shell Island. It is a bird sanctuary but people are allowed to walk along the beach and collect shells so we got quite a few and worked on our tans a bit. After that we had a nice dinner at an Italian restaurant

Bye for now.

To Shell Island.

Shells.
The island is made of shells, lots of different kinds.

Dead fish.
The birds are always scavenging for shellfish washed up on the beach or if they are really lucky, a dead fish.

Horseshoe crab.
We don't know how this got up on the grass.

Old style diner.
You could get grits and they call you sweety. Around Tallahassee on the way to Baton Rouge.
