Mt. Dora, FL

Thursday, we travelled to Mt. Dora, FL to visit with our friend Houston Vissage. We walked to Cody's on 4th for lunch. While dining, we met a family from Scotland and learned that you can repel mosquitoes by taking Vitamin B1 tablets. The family swears that it works. (Just thought you might find that as interesting as I did).

For dessert we stopped at a local shop that sells Kermit's Key Lime Pies, shipped direct from Key West, FL, and enjoyed a slice of Key Lime pie, dipped in chocolate, and served on a stick. It was heavenly!!  Afterwards, Houston took us for a ride, in his new Prius, around Mt. Dora and the beautiful lake.

For an afternoon refreshment we enjoyed a beverage by the lake in nearby Tavares, FL.

For dinner, we walked to Goblin Market. The food and service were equally fantastic. For dessert we headed upstairs to the bar and enjoyed chocolate martinis!

After a restful night of sleep we went to the Highland Street Cafe for breakfast. Then, we walked around the lake to enjoy a very nice breeze...and enjoyed seeing a gator!

Shortly after Noon we loaded up the car and drove three and one-half hours to St. Simons Island, GA. The temperature soared to 100-degrees!  While here, we will visit with some of Mike's family, and will enjoy the beach during the Memorial Day weekend. Should be lots of fun!!  We are here for four days.
