Jacksonville March 13, 14 & 15th

We've arrived in Florida !
PECAN PARK RV RESORT

This park is sorta cement city. Very clean, lots of regulations, friendly people though.
It has great cable, so was able to watch Syracuse Basket Ball, both nights.
Sorry to say that Syracuse lost the championship game but they had played absolutely fabulously in the other games. Congratulations to a great team...Now on to March Madness...Go Syracuse.

Guess I got carried away there or side tracked ...... anyway, the campsite was mostly just a place to stay over a couple of nights and regroup. We were led to believe that the Flea Markets in Florida were great places. So we felt very fortunate to be parked right next to one and could ride our bikes over to it.



There were 3 long buildings, longer than a football field full of "goodies"
There were hundreds of shoppers finding bargains ???
Here is one of them, doesn't he look happy. I hope he found just what he wanted.

Here's a real neat gal we talked to about the product she was selling. "Shea Butter"
I had never heard of it but it sounded quite convincing that it was a good product.
I let her apply some to my hand...hmmmm it was nice. Larry wasn't convinced and
walked away. She said, "Your husband doesn't think much of it does he?"
Later I looked it up on the computer to read more about it. It's good stuff!!! Look it up.

Not sure we'll take in any more of Florida's Flea Markets although Terry Warner says
there's a good one down by him, so we just might try again.
There was a good place to ride bikes here so got some riding in.
We left here Sunday morning, heading to Flagler, Florida to camp by the ocean.

Did you find anything to buy at the flea market? Are there different regional things than up here or are 'our' things just filtering down there?
You never heard of Shea Butter!?
Who's next on the itinerary?
Are you going to the beach? (what's the weather?)
