Deeper into Florida

We had a surprise call from Dick and Betty Carter (Rick Bolling's Brother in law and sister), who are renting a place in Florida about twelve miles from Silver Springs. They saw Nancy's Face Book posting and called us. We met them for breakfast this morning and had a nice visit. Rick's brother Glenn use to have a place near here and now Dick and Betty have spent a few weeks the past couple of winters.
After we left them we broke camp and drove south to Lake Louisa State park just west of Orlando. This is a nice park that we have stayed at in the past. They have several lakes here and a nice beach on Lake Louisa, but you have to share it with the alligators. Lots of hiking trails and biking galore. In fact we put about eight miles on our bikes this afternoon. Later we enjoyed a nice steak on the barbie and went for a long walk after doing dishes.
The weather has been awesome with sunny skies and low humidity. What's not to like?

Looks like they make turtle soup out of roadkill here.
