Late start because we were dealing with Verizon coverage but we made it to Wakulla Springs. Wa then kul like col in color to pronounce. Beautiful place. Great boat ride down Wakulla River with plenty of wildlife and flora. Gorgeous. Then in time for lunch at the Wakulla Hotel. A national historic site and also beautiful. Done by the brother in law of Alfred DuPont who was a very rich man in his own right. Marble throughout and gorgeous painted ceiling. It overlooks the spring. Creature from the Black Lagoon and Tarzan movies filmed here. Built in 1936.
Lunch was wonderful. World renown bean soup that was great. Recipes from the 1930s. The old menu on the back of ours. Jack had liver and onions and I had fried chicken. It must have been huge chicken. Could hardly finish the breast and the rest of the half is for later.
We then took route 98 right along the Gulf of Mexico. Can see a lot of hurricane damage - a big stretch totally washed away that they are filling in with rocks. Full view of the gulf almost all along. Lots of property for sale right on the water. Stopped in Eastport which is across the bay from Apalachicola. Can see the 8 mile bridge from our rv park. Staying here tonight and tomorrow night just to relax. In the pine trees and nice and breezy.
