Well we are well and truly splashed down. Flew in over enjoying the Florida Cape Canaveral an hour early, which gave us time to take a leisurely drive the 75 miles to Connie and Jim's.
We are now enjoying the Florida sunshine, though feeling v. tired.
We have joined in a couple of really nice jams, but chose yesterday afternoon to take a side trip to one of Florida's most beautiful springs - Rainbow Springs State Park in Dunnellon. It is a wonderful spring, surrounded by trees and Azalea in full bloom, lots of large butterflies floating around, brightly coloured birds flashing through the trees and fish swimming in the crystal clear spring of the Rainbow River, welling out of the ground at its constant 72 degrees F. Enabled us to remember why we think that Florida is such a wonderful state with such diversity of habitat. A relaxingly peaceful afternoon, though we met some really nice family from Minnesota and Indiana and spent an hour or so just chatting, only to find that we had been near their home when we visited Sioux Falls in October and drove past Stonepipe Park.
