Staying at Weeki Wachee which we discovered is not pronounced Wacky but like watchy...  but it is okay to be a little wacky in Florida and fit in.  Lots of beautiful springs here bubbling up and creating beautiful clear water to see an abundance of fish.  We drove up the coast to see the Gulf at Crystal River.  Lots of kayaking in the area to see manatee.  We visited a state park at Homosassa Springs  (everywhere ... natural springs)  Imagine how we could mispronounce this one!

Dan is on his rzr in a 40 acre plot next door to our campsite.  It is going up to 80 today.  The last few days we have been hiking and one day we did a 5 mile hike.  We also discovered how to use the timer on the camera... thus some couple shots.  We are staying here a week and using this as home base as we discover some of the Gulf coast.  We have hook ups and it averages out to be $20 a day so very reasonable.  We are an hour away from Tampa.

Loved using Skype now with Marcel last night   Marcel, again, helmets on your kitchen table do not qualify as centre pieces.

On a personal note our Sympathy to Louise and Tom in Beaumont as Louise's Dad has passed away.  We are thinking of you Louise at this difficult time.  It has been a long time and we wish him peace at last!  Our love and wish we could give you a hug!
