Catching up in Clearwater/St. Petersburg

St. Augustine

  Kennedy Space Center shares Merritt Island with the alligators, birds and other wildlife.
















Kennedy Space Center
We had a very interesting tour and enjoyed the history of the space program, along with a tornado alert while we were on the tour bus.  Our driver pulled up next to the Launch Command Center and sat there until the alert was called off.  Turned out, the tornado was in Miami.
The Vehicle Assembly Building.  The stripes on the flag are 8 feet wide.





Rocket Garden


 Tarpon Springs


We moved on to the opposite side of Florida.  We tried to see manatees at Crystal Springs, but they've all moved out to sea, so that was a bust.  We drove down to Tarpon Springs to see the so-called Greek fishing village and were totally touristed out in about 10 minutes.
We spent the night in Clearwater and the next day, Saturday, we arrived in Punta Gorda to stay with my brother, Tim, and his wife Madeline.
