March 3-4

Yesterday we spent two and a half hours of perfection kayaking the Wekiwa River and Rock Springs Run. We launched from Wekiwa Springs State Park. The water was 70° and crystal clear or slightly tea stained in color. We saw many water birds, varieties of turtles, and an alligator as well as flowering water plants. https://www.floridastateparks.org/parks-and-tra…
After our paddle we drove to the Tooting Otter Bar at Wakiva Island for cocktails which we enjoyed on the bank of the river. We also viewed some artwork as they were having their annual Wekiva Paint Out Art Auction. https://www.wekivaisland.com/?utm_source=google…
Today we played pickleball at Pear Park in Leesburg. Twelve fenced courts and excellent play, though I only lasted about 90 minutes with 80+° temps and 80% humidity. 🥵 After pickleball we took a walk through Venetian Gardens Park, on the shores of Lake Harris, then stopped for local strawberries and red navel oranges. The oranges cost about four times more than the ones we buy in SoCal. They are delicious, but not 4 Xs tastier. Produce and dairy are expensive around here.
Tomorrow we move to Peace River RV Park in Wauchula, about
two hours south of here, for a four night stay.Okumaya devam et
