FLORIDA HISTORY

first we stared off to visit an old country store not to far from the campground thinking that it might be like some of the anmish stores back home...well it wasn't it was an old country store and it wouldn't take much wind to blow it down...most of the items on the shelves wer rather dusty and who knows how long they had been sitting on them...they also had a meat market and said they were famous for their sausage we did not buy any..

then we drove on some canopy roads which reminded us of savannah but not as much spanish moss hanging from them but they were very pretty very narrow roads but we made it back to tallahassee..

lar had noticed a parking lot the day before and thought maybe we could get into it and we did but at the gate we could not get a ticket..so in the library we went only to find out that that lady working the ticket booth ws off and we could prk for FREE we thought we hit the jackpot...so park we did and took off on feetwe then went to the visitors center to get more info..the lady st us to the new capital building and up to the 22 floor where there was on abservation deck and you could see the whole city...we saw the football stadium of florida state which we drove around the day before..had lunch with all the congressmen-lawyers-and who ever else works at the capital building..

then it was across the plaza to the old capital building and their museum we did not think we'd be in there long but 3 hrs later we left..so we are now on overload abourt florida history..most interesting..we had thought that maybe we would go to a different museumm abour florida history but after the capital we thought that what more could we learn and besides our minds were already boggled (maybe they are anyway ahhaha)...it has been a good visit here the only thing we thought we might do and wanted to do was go bike riding but that didn't happen as i guess we are fair weather riders and didn't have any spandex with us (besides we don't own any )to help keep us toasty warm..

today we move on..stopping by to pick up our forwarded mail as we go right by the place...then maybe end us in the mobile area not sure...
