On the way, we stopped to eat at a restaurant in St. Petersburg. We were excited because it was organic, but it turned out to be a raw food restaurant. The food was excellent – the cucumber and pineapple soup especially, but Morgane was in for a nasty surprise! When I ordered her a plain bowl of pasta, they brought a bowl of zucchini sliced to look like pasta! She was not fooled.
It actually tasted really good and not strong (since it was raw), so we told her she had to eat it. She refused. She finally gave in at dinner time and finished it by about 7pm.
Morgane and I visited Homosassa Springs State Park. We saw manatees, but they were mostly busy eating, so we didn’t see them very well. We just know they are really big and Morgane commented that they look like “gigantic beavers swimming in the water” because of their tails.
There were lots of other animals to see including a very smelly hippo. We finally got to see pink flamingos although I think they look more orange than pink.
After the park we drove to a special place that we describe like how Key West must have been thirty years ago. I am not even allowed to say the name of the place – I promised the lady who told us about it! Sorry, you’ll just have to come look around yourself.
In the morning, we did our laundry, hung out at the library, had a bite of grouper (fish) and then toured around looking for citrus trees.
