• Day 382 - Kissimmee

    May 18, 1975 in the United States

    We slept well and woke to a bright day with a blue sky. No more mosquitoes this morning!

    A vendor on the beach sold fresh oysters. This sounds wild, but we bought a dozen and had them for breakfast!

    Our destination for today is Disney World. We continued on Highway #1 up the coast until Melbourne, then turned left onto #192.

    I stopped at the Hale Groves citrus fruit market and bought a large bag of oranges, grapefruits, and a jar of orange blossom honey. The visit included freshly squeezed orange juice for 10 cents - all you can drink. It was so sweet and tasty. Florida is indeed the Sunshine State!

    Before we continued, I had to deal with yet another flat tire. Later, we found a Holiday Inn with an adjacent Motorhome-Park near Disney for $4.50 daily. What a deal! It had a pool, showers, and toilets.

    Ursula made Spaghetti with tomato sauce for dinner. A group of ducks approached our camper and ate bread from our hands. We enjoyed a refreshing dip in the pool before going to sleep. Dreaming about Disney tomorrow...
