Some parting thoughts on Florida.   We have awesome memories of Florida...all the people we got to see there, new friends that we met there, the things we saw and did will be "forever memories" but I can't say when we'll be back.

Here's Nutmeg trying to boss the donkey.  She had a few choice words for that...donkey.

A brief stop in St Augustine...a replica of Michelangelo's David...with a smartly placed leaf

Statute of St. Augustine and the amazingly tall stainless steel cross commemorating the first permanent Christian settlement in north America.

Joe bought me a cute little basket for my bike...but then we took it out of the truck and then we stopped for a bike ride.  So Nutmeg rode in the insulated cooler bag.   She's so flexible.

Big cool bridge in Jacksonville, FL..I try to take some pictures from my front seat on the bus when I'm not at risk of missing a navigational cue...and the window is amazingly clean here.

I finally was able to get a picture of a "state" sign.  It's not easy for Buster to just "pull over" so again, I'm usually trying to get the camera on while not losing my place on the GPS.  i had hoped to get pictures of each new state we get to...but that hasn't happened.

And lastly, before we leave Florida...these words on the back of our friend's truck.  Think about it.

We are eagerly awaiting our exit from Orlando this Wednesday. It's getting miserably hot here!

And...it looks like we're heading the same way that you are - up the east coast! I wonder if we'll cross paths. :)
