Since my last post we have been to Fort Desoto Park (5 nights), Largo (1 night), Indian Shores (2 nights with the Clarkes), Garnd Cayman and Cozumel (5 nights Carnaval cruise) and now in Zephyrhills for 2 nights. It 's all good, good, good.
We did a lastminute cruise and found Carnival to beof great value. Ofcourse, foodand serenityare not up to Oceania's premium level, but we weren't disappointed.
Americans are thefriendliest,chatiestpeople. Havingmetdozens of people now, we are truly at ease strikingly up a converrsation withanyonewemeetor see.

Turtle Beach
So we are camping on Turtle Beach and the weather has turned great. It's 80+ every day so far and no rain. But last night the weirdest thing happened. We had a dew storm. A heavy fog rolled in and condensed on the tall pine tree above our RV and it started to rain dew. It rained hard dew most of the night. I did step out from under the tree and it was not raining. Weird, a dew storm.
So where is Turtle Beach? It is on Casey Key just south of Sarasota. It's a Sarasota County campground right on the beach. The Gulf of Mexico is 200 footsteps from where we are parked. This is the best kept secret place to camp in Florida so shhh, don't tell others.
To day we went to Siesta Beach on Siesta Key, a 8 km drive north. Voted the best beach in America a few years ago - yes the No. 1 beach in the US. Acres of white sand, endless beach front, soft warm waves and a mile long sand bar to stroll on. OK, you get the picture. But I forgot to mention the thousands of beach bods strolling and lazing in the sun. Free parking, washrooms, concessions, picnic tables, volleyball nets, beach exercise classes - all absolutely free.
Every night we catch the sunset. There is a man who blows a conch shell like a trumpet at sundown on the beach. There is another man playing a recorder and a woman playing the guitar and singing softly. Too much.
This the way to live, especially on FEBRUARY!
