Tallahassee, FL-July 7, 2011

This is an odd little park. We probably will never stay here again, but we only needed to be here so we could eat at On The Border in downtown Tallahassee. And, indeed, we did. It was beyond delicious. whatever that word is. There are none of these in Alabama. It was worth the wait. Trust me, it was completely worth it. If you ever have a chance to try this restaurant, save room for the Empanadas for dessert. Chocolate, cinnamon and pecans inside a tiny empanada with a dollop of vanilla ice cream. Oh my goodness. No fat, no calories. Hmmm. (and if you believe that...........I have a bridge sell you) If somebody runs us off the road tomorrow, we will leave happy and full. We only splurge on that type of meal every once in a blue moon. But it was worth waiting 8 months for. Tomorrow we will go to Milton, FL. We will spend a few days there trying to get our washer/dryer door fixed and getting the oil changed in the Cute Red Vehicle. If we are successful, that will take 2 big items off of our "to do" list. That list has grown so long we are concerned it will take quite a while to get it done. And we want to get out of LA so we can get to cooler weather. It rained here today. Maybe it is following us. We don't mind as long as it waits until we are settled in. We heard that the Okefenokee Swamp fire along with several others in extreme South Georgia are close to being contained. That will be wonderful. What a sad waste of natural resources a fire is. We were surprised to find that Florida is not all flat as we imagined. East of Tallahassee, on I-10 it is quite hilly. Not mountainous, just lots of up and own hills. We passed miles and miles of huge distribution centers for Publix, Wal Mart, Budweiser and many others. Winn Dixie was there, too, but they are a "retail support center", not a distribution center. We sometimes just laugh at how people play with words. Remember from Savannah it was the War Of Northern Aggression, not the Civil War. I guess that's freedom of speech.
