Apalachicola Bay
This morning we found the Florida coastline views we had hoped for yesterday. The Gulf of Mexico was calm, like glass. As we drove southeast from Port Saint Joe, FL we soon found ourselves enjoying spectacular views of the Apalachicola Bay
About 5 miles offshore is St. George Island, a long narrow island that parallels the mainland. East of St. George Island is Dog Island across Saint George Sound.
It appeared we were witnessing low tide waters. The water is clearly shallow in this area.
We soon came upon a nice small town called Carrabelle, FL. Just east of Carrabelle is a public park with a beautiful sandy beach.
The balance of our drive to Bill's sister and brother-in-law's winter retreat in Parrish, FL was via quiet backroads until we reached Tampa. It was definitely a pleasant alternative to traveling I-75. Below is Cathy and Ron's dwelling.
This will be our abode for the next few weeks. Thus far our Retirement Journey has taken us 6,000+ miles through 14 states!

We're envious of your weather...we won't see anything even close to 32 for a high tempurature for 2 weeks or so! CBS tomorrow - I'll share the latest with our Lunch Ladies! Oh you'll want to know that Betty had surgery last week; will share her latest with you soon. Blessings, Joyce and Ron
