A Day at the Beach

We are finally getting some nice weather here on the Florida panhandle. We took advantage by spending the afternoon on the "Emerald Coast" (so-called for the color of the water), finding a quiet spot on Blue Mountain Beach. We honestly have not seen any mountains in Florida...there is a medium sized hill near this beach, not sure if it called Blue Mountain or not.

The breeze was light, the skies were sunny and the waves were mesmerizing. The sands along this part Florida's Gulf Coast are amazingly white and fine. The sand squeaks when you walk along. And the sand is so soft, it takes quite a bit of effort to make headway.

The weatherman is calling for an even nicer day tomorrow, so we plan to return on our last full day in these parts. Sunday we are making our way into southern Georgia.

The only negative about our stay in DeFuniak Springs has been poor internet and phone service. We have 'the network', but there isn't a crowd following that Verizon Geek anywhere around here. When we get our next laptop we hope to upgrade our broadband card--ours is an oldie that doesn't have an aerial assist, nor a port for a remote antenna.

Thought for today: I have such a great memory, I can remember some things that never happened.
