It's Sunday morning and a sunny 42 degree start to the day.

Yesterday we enjoyed the 68 degree early afternoon warmth and sunshine by taking the girls on a two hour walk. We were ready to sit on the beach when we got back, but the clouds moved in and cooled down enough that it was not comfortable to just "sit" outside.

We wanted to check out the area a little so we loaded up the dogs and drove off the peninsula - no easy task as the nearest town is about 30 miles away. Ended up in Apalachicola, the oyster capital of Florida. At least this town, as old and run down as it was, had some human activity. Mexico Beach, Port St. Joe, and the Cape San Blas area, leading into the State Park we are camped at, looked like ghost towns and every property was for sale.

Anyway, found an oyster bar and had oysters and beer. What else would you do in an oyster capital? Did not stay long being so far away from camp and it was getting late. If we had more time there were about 20 different oyster related items on the menu to try. We might go back.

The weather forecast looks good for the next couple of days so the decision was made to stay put for two more nights before heading further South. "Brilliant Sunshine" for today so maybe the beach chairs will be unloaded.

It's pretty remote here and because I have a "booster" antenna and an "amplifier" for the cell phones and data card, we are the only ones here with phone and data service. Aren't we special? However, the signal for the internet is not very good so no pictures can be put on the blog at this time. I'll add them later when in a high speed signal area Tuesday or Wednesday.

That's about it. Emily, thanks for being the first to leave a comment. Sorry about the cold and snow you have to put up with, but not sorry to miss it.
