Florida, how sweet it is



We have made it all the way to the East Coast!! This beach town of Malabar reminds me a lot of hawaii, with green everywhere. There are vines growing over all the trees and palms blowing in the warm, scented winds. Blue skies and puffy clouds. Produce stands with locally grown strawberries, tomatoes and plums. Sand is a part of life. There are barrier islands here that you can drive along and see ocean on both sides. The park here is very social. People are here for five months or so, then back home for summer. Some of these folks have been coming here for twenty years!! I have to tell you, they know how to have fun. They have cookouts, fish fries, dances, and barnyard races (another story) where you can win or lose all your dollars. There are license plates from Massachusetts, Vermont, Ohio, Pennsilvania, Michigan, all parts of Canada, Maine, and on and on. We took care of California. It can be a pretty tight squeeze, getting a 30 foot fifth wheel into your spot but hey, Stan's a pro. This area is big for surfing but so far it's been blown out so Stan's board hasn't left the bag. I guess we just have to lie on the beach and wait...
