Sunday, October 14 – we made it to Clearwater!


I am so glad to be done driving for awhile. Today was not as easy a drive as it looked on the map. We decided to head straight for Clearwater from Tallahassee via SR 27 and 19. It looked like a nice scenic drive on the map. It started out as a beautiful drive on a four lane parkway through a lovely wooded area. There was logging in the pine forests, but the traffic was very light – no trucks, yeah!

But, when we got to Port Richey, the traffic picked up and it took forever to get to Clearwater. We were planning to stay at my friend, Hildie’s, condo, so she called us about 1 p.m. to see where we were. We didn’t get there until after 3. Hildie and her friend, Marie, were waiting for us and we got the grand tour of her condo. She has a gorgeous view of Clearwater Bay and the Inland Waterway from her sixth floor, two bedroom, condo. She has it beautifully decorated in ocean themes – seashells, seabirds, boats & water. Pinks, whites, and light blues dominate her color theme.

There is a nice city parking lot a block away so we were able to leave the camper there overnight. We had a nice dinner at Rhumba, a Caribbean restaurant. We ate outside on the patio, so Mickey was able to join us. It was good and fun.

We were happy to settle in for a good night’s sleep and ready for more Florida adventures.
