Man was it ever sweet yesterday . Cruising up and down the coast of Pinellas county . I want to tell you this place is Paradise. White sand beaches man oh man . John Pass was busy . People playing volley ball in the shallow waters in the pass . Power boats , sail boats , ultra light planes , para sails , jet boats , kayaks , paddle surfers etc. You name it for water southern boating it is here . People enjoying this beautiful part of the world . If I haven't said it before " I love this place " Yes , I did put the plug in for those keeping score. Not bad for the shabby low end of the state. B) ;) B) :laugh: :laugh: They are building a whole new East end of our Delightful little town. The west end has all but been built . It was near completion this last month. Building permits are now up around this town . The most exciting project is the Gateway , east end of town. Living here just puts you in a good mood and makes you feel alive.>>>
For those who like the solitude this might not be the venue. It has it places . There are island spoils in the St Joesph Sound that make great get aways for a weekend or a week . One may be two campsites ( first come basics ) If you are on the west end it is your own sub tropical paradise . If you run out of beer or other essentials. Just jump aboard your transportation and head to the 7/11 . THE LOVELY MRS CIAK and I lived in Maine. That kind of seclusion drove us crazy . Cabin fever in the winter . Like 6-7 months of it. Did enjoy , when the weather might have been nice to walk in the woods . Not during hunting season . So that made the seclusion nice may be 3-4 weeks out of the year . I would live here over most places I've been in the states . Because this isn't a travel forum I won't begin to describe Italy . Love that place . Bella>>>
