The pictures of snow on Trish's facebook certainly tell us why we are here! In the 80's most days. The A/C is  on continuously!  Gotta rave again about the cost of things here, well the important things, a 24 of beer is 15.00 bucks, 12 litres of wine is 40.00 bucks, add the twenty percent exchange and that comes to 66.00 Cdn. The same amount of booze in Nova Scotia would cost 160.00 bucks.
Trish is having trouble with the insect bites again, every little bug and we mean little, really, "no see'ums", you seldom actually see one!  Just found out right outside the park gate is the original bldg where the first rum was made in North America.  Also found out the park was once all sugar cane fields and that sugar cane is not native to North or South America, imported from Asia to the Carribbean and North America, how would they have transported those plants originally?

Returned to Tomoka for another week of cleaning, thebikers have moved out and the people with yappy dogs took over, give me bikers at any time, motorcycles are not as irritating as dogs barking or yapping, then it.s followed up by , "It's not my dog Sir, my dog never yaps or barks."  Bikers rev it up and own up to it!
We now have two weeks under our belt, temps in the 80s, spend a lot of time in the air-conditioning with cold beer and cold wine! Play a lot of crib, rummy, canasta and scrabble!  We are very active, up and down to the fridge!

What a day, our third annual reunion at Madiera Beach Legion in Florida, the venue is something else, seagulls,Pelicans, water activities and friends from as far back as 1960, thanks to Chuck O'Neill for organizing this again, then we spent time at Rickys bar in Treasure Island, listening to a great band with a Cdn member, a friend of Chuck's, when they sang the Edmond Fitzgerald we realized we were sitting surrounded by Canadians. 

Broke our record, eight days to get to Florida, settled in at Tomoka State Park, first on the agenda was our two days off, went to play Buttons with Jim and Marge at Lake Helen, now hard at work cleaning at the campground!  Stayed at a campground in Georgia that let us wash the camper, it was filthy with slush, we were half way through South Carolina when we all of a sudden noticed, no snow!! Then we thought we saw the white stuff again, it was just last years cotton still on the bushes!  Had lunch at the Beanery Cafe, at Flagler Beach.  we are here for Daytona bike week, bikes, bikes and more bikes, trikes, spiders, but mostly Harleys! This week we had one day near ninety, hottest March 5th since 1929!
