Wauchula , last stop before the Keys

We are in in sunny, windy Wauchula.
 In our travels we found  that Wauchula had been called "Cucumber Capital of the World".  Citrus now has become a more important agricultural crop over the past few decades.

Also, Wauchula is derived from the Seminole name of Wauchula meaning "Call of the Sandhill Crain.  This is a fountain in the center of town.
War memorial also in town.

This little fella was running around the porch digging nuts out of the planters.  They are so tame, the darn thing ran right up to us.
Never saw a pineapple growing, almost ready to pic
This is what you find at the beginning of the nature trail.
Pictures along the trail
Fishing and fossil hunting is very popular along Piece River.

It's Official at Thousand Trails Orlando (TTO)

Cecil gets his Tats...
Our tattoo artist at work 
Finished product
So you don't forget our blog.  Cecil also is now flying a Norwegian flag, Tom calls the rig the Norwegian Embassy.  I keep having to correct him.
The park has a lot of nice extra's, fresh vegetable and fruit vender, that comes in twice a week.  Pam had a lot of fun buying produce. 
And live entertainment was in on the weekend. 

And fun in the pool, and much more.


Date day at the Gulf of Mexico, enjoying the scenery and a fresh fish dinner.

Ran into this little fellow walking back from watching the Disney fireworks over the lake.  We were chasing him around trying to get a good picture.
Saw this Class A a few spots down.  Checked the Internet" In His Wake ".  Appeared to be a youth program.


We took a ride out to Cocoa Beach,  bueatiful day.  Very busy place.


Stopped at Ron Jon Surf Shop.  Had the best key lime pie at a little shop across the street from them.
If you looked down at the walkway in front of Ron Jon it made you dizzy.  Optical illusion,  looked very wavey. Shows a little in this picture.
Right across the street was Cocoa Beach Surf Company.   Fun time trying on hats there.

We liked the Cecil turtle on the RV so much, Christian the truck got a Tat too, on her tailgate.
