Florida Sampler

When we planned to travel to Florida, we decided to sample various parts of it over a few weeks. We'd make mental notes for future travels. First and foremost was to be in warm weather. It's a safe bet that you have to be about halfway down the Florida peninsula to be warm, and there's no guarantee even then. Our plan is to kind of circumnavigate the state - down the east coast and up the west.

JUNO BEACH - Yesterday we arrived at our first nearly summerlike destination, right on the Atlantic Ocean at Juno Beach. Mid-70s and bright sunshine. We're staying at an RV resort called Juno Beach Walk. It's the kind of tightly-packed sort of place we'd normally avoid if it weren't for its pristine aura (I'm thinking they must vacuum the streets), lush tropical landscaping, heated swimming pool, hot tub, and easy walk to the beach. And the people here are so nice--they have included us in everything and talk to us like we're old friends. We could easily see ourselves settling into a place like this for several weeks.





The ocean is a gorgeous blue here ...




Someone was made rudely aware of that wave about a half second later ...



Tomorrow we push on southward for some more sampling.
