We had supper last night at Lulu's - Lulu and Joan enjoyed the outdoor dining along the Inter Coastal Waterway.
Our camper 200 miles from home at the St Augustine Outlet Mall
Doctor Fauci said old people that got the vaccine can visit other old people that got the vaccine. So we decided to hop in the camper - with minimal stuff - and headed to see our friend Joan in Nocatee FL. It is about 200 miles from our home to hers. We stopped by Bradley's Country Store to get some of Joan's favorite sausage. I-10 from Tallahassee to Jacksonville is really quiet and in just a few hours we were enjoying the Florida East Coast. To our surprise - the ocean temperature here is 62 degree. We left 68 degree surf at Panama City Beach last week. No big deal - because I refuse to swim in anything under 88 degrees.
Joan is about 8 miles from a lovely beach at Ponte Vedra.
Thursday - Lulu wanted to visit the outlets at Saint Augustine. I stayed in the camper and watched TV while Lulu shopped in the empty open mall.
Thursday night supper was spent at Lulu's on the Inter Coastal Waterway. We ate outside - and it was a beautiful way to end a busy day of beach and shopping.
Joan has a dog now - his name is Manny. It is not nice to describe humans by color - so I won't do it with Manny. I won't describe size either nor age. I will just say he is a pleasant creature.
What I love about traveling in the camper is that we see all different kinds of vehicles. This area seems to have a wealth of exotic toys.
First - I saw a real Shelby Mustang. Many people do not know that Shelby still makes cars in Las Vegas. We have visited the factory near the airport there. I took a few pictures of this 700 HP street screamer.
Next - at the beach - we saw this Ural Motorcycle. It has a sidecar and it is from Russia. At least it is a replica of an old Russian cycle. It had a Wisconsin plate on it - but it was much too clean to have been driven from that winter wonderland. I am guessing it is a "trailer baby." Many folks will bring their bikes down from up north in a covered trailer - then unload them and ride in the warm sun.
We really do not know where we will go next. Lulu said she would go as long as I found a place to watch the FSU game on Sunday. Daytona - Orlando - Disney - Tampa - St Pete - Ocala - who knows?
We are at night number 60 in the camper. Since we are staying in Joan's - these nights do not count.
I am home alone typing this story with Manny. Joan and Lulu are at the beach again. I was really surprised when no one protested that I wanted to stay here and type.
A Ural Motorcycle with sidecar.
The Inter Coastal Waterway goes all the way up the east coast. It is protected from waves by the island chain.
What a nice boat right by the restaurant.
That is Lulu's. We ate where the yellow chair is.
This is a real Shelby Mustang. You can still buy them. Built in Las Vegas.
They are $70,000 and 700 horsepower.
Note the spare tire and spare seat.
Too clean to ride from Wisconsin
Lulu says no to a side car.
The cylinders stick out the side.
How is that seat for a 3000 mile ride?
