On the Gulf of Mexico, near Tarpon Springs, Florida. We happened upon a small park known mostly only to locals. And the name of the Park you might ask? "Sunset Park of course."
Things are good AND busy in Central Florida. The Bug made it's way around to everyone, with me the last to "go down". Starting to feel more like myself now.
Wishing everyone a great weekend.
