A blog entry with animals that actually or supposedly dont exist and with a tree that has existed like forever
In the time line of our vacation this blog entry has a bit of an anomaly. We have here collected photos from a few early days of the trip and the very last ones. We arranged things that way to help us make the blogs a bit more interesting and readable. At least that is what we aimed for. Read on...
The Florida Citrus Center and Souvenir World does sell Florida oranges and grapefruit. It is also a gas station and souvenir stand. Its kind of a fun rest stop along Interstate not far from historic St. Augustine. We stopped on our drive home from Port Canaveral and our Southern Caribbean cruise.

A sprite invaded my mind and persuaded me to walk to the Crossroads Farmers Marketto fulfill my minor need to buy the cauliflower I forgot last Sunday. The sprite argued that this was one of the last warm days of summer, and furthermore that the distance was certainly no greater than the walks I do when hiking. Plus, the route was mainly along streets and paths.

We have not used our RV in about years. We had work and then our truck was stolen and getting the RV fitted to the new truck and all of the things that go with that have been time consuming. Not to mention taking time to travel to Europe and then Amsterdam.
Finally, we were able to get the RV into the shop to get it raised to fit into the new hitch. We gave the shop the date of Thurs, October 21 Read on...
Waking long before dawn on Thursday morning - my eleventh day on the Larapinta Trail - Id not even gotten out of my tent when a group of guided hikers strode through the campsite sounding like an army battalion marching into battle. With no vehicle access between Serpentine Gorge and Ormiston Gorge 30km away, they would have to knock off that entire distance in one long day. But for those of us th Read on...
There are a number of towns and locations throughout England, that are synonymous with a specific sport or activity. Wembley = Football. Silverstone = Formula 1. Twickenham = Rugby Union.
