I had hoped to get a photo of the "World Famous" Parkesdale Farms strawberry shortcake, but it was a bumpy adventure getting there yesterday. First of all, we had left RV and toad unattached, as RV needed fuel and maneuvering both vehicles in most gas stations is difficult, at best. So we each set our GPS and headed off separately. Well, they didn't match routes, so we were confused, to say the least. But as I approached the Farms, a motorcycle accident occurred just ahead of me, tying up traffic and adding to the confusion. So I cell phoned Grandpa to wait at a nearby lot while I stood in a long line to order 2Shortcut Plus desserts for take out. Worth the wait! Yummy, fresh and huge.

Today we spent the afternoon in Tarpon Springs, where the Greek community grew around natural sponge diving. The sponge dock area is a tourist attraction noted for ethnic restaurants, shops and harbor cruises. We also saw the Greek Orthodox church, St. Michael's Shrine, the bayous surrounding a lovely park and gracious homes. A Greek sampler platter including flaming cheese (Oopa!) followed by Greek pastries, and we were back at camp with full tummies and happy exhaustion.
