Fun in the Florida SUN? No, Fun in a Florida Deep Freeze!
Wednesday – Sunday, January 6 – 10. Huntsville was having a cold snap as we climbed into Bob and Sue Kuehlthau’s airplane for a trip south to warm (usually) Saint Petersburg. The first day-and-a-half was chilly but not cold. Since then, however, we’ve been in a deep freeze. It is even warmer in Alaska than here! Floridians are shivering, and so are we.
The weather hasn’t interfered with our adventures though. During the few days Bob and Sue were here, we’ve toured both St. Pete and Tarpon Springs, shopped at specialty stores and galleries, marveled at Tiffany windows at the First Methodist Church, eaten well, gotten a different perspective from the Dali Musueum, been to a movie, and watched Alabama win the National Championship.
The Kuehlthaus have been delightful company, and we’ve had great fun exploring Saint Petersburg with them. They agree that this is an outstanding area to visit. There are plenty of things to do and see, plus the waterfront and downtown areas are easy on the eyes. Now it’s time to move further south. As soon as the weather improves (probably Tuesday), we will cast off our lines and turn south toward Sarasota.
