Florida Fantasy
Yesterday was a travel day...from Pensacola to Port St. Joe. Along the way we made a quick stop and spied a truck that gave us a smile.
We are staying at Presnell's Campground right on the gulf in Port St. Joe. It's a very nice camp with a pool and great sunsets.
Today we went into Apalachicola, a small town that is know for its oysters. We took a tour of the Rainey House, a former home of cotton-trader, David G. Raney. It now houses a museum of local historical artifacts.
We then had a late lunch at Up the Creek. Cute place. Going up the steps they put human shoe prints on one side and paw prints on the other. Dogs are welcome but must going to the outside porch. That's where we ate. Tim had Classic Oysters which were cooked lightly, topped with Colby jack cheese, chopped jalapeño & bacon. Pat had fish basket with blackened grouper and fries. We sat overlooking the Apalachicola

River enjoying the food. Thrown in some comical beer signs.
We met a couple at the restaurant who had a second home on St. George Island, so we decided to take a ride to see the island. We had to take a 4-mile bridge to get there. The bridge was built in 2007. The first bridge was built in 1965 but deemed unsafe. Before that people had to take a ferry. The island itself is OK...nothing special. It does look like a lot of money is coming to the island with big beach homes.
Back to the camp to make a drink and watch the sunset from the clubhouse here. Beautiful!
