We arrived safely in Eastpoint, Florida on Friday the 13th. The drive took about four and a half hours and was uneventful, but we had fog almost all the way here. Met up with my niece Armida (she lives just west of our resort in Apalachicola) for dinner and drinks. We went back to the rv to relax and had a rather nasty thunderstorm roll thru, but the rest of the night was quiet. The next morning we awoke to a glorious sunrise over the Apalachicola Bay. Out in the distance in the picture below, you can just make out the barrier island St George Island, and we will be exploring there tomorrow. As a result of the oil spill years ago, the shrimp and oyster business has all but died. The area continues to grow again as a retirement area with restaurants and bars and an endless string of parties, festivals, music, plus all the outdoor activities like hiking, shell hunting, fishing, or just sitting on the beach letting the gulf take away all your stress.
