12/20/06 Wednesday

Hello,

My day started with a surprise visitor!!! I went to turn the power back on in the fuse box/ outlet and there was this tiny green tree frog! He was so cute!!

Later in that morning I went for a stroll to the ocean- about a 10 min walk from camp site. I passed two small ponds on the way. Both had alligator warning signs, and guess what!!! I saw a 4' alligator basking in the sun on a little island in the middle of the 2nd pond. I made a mental note at this point! --"at night ALWAYS leave tent with flashlight"---just in case any gators came by for a visit during the night!!

The beach was beautiful- with white sand and lots of shells. There were nice bath houses and covered picnic areas- for visitors too. After strolling around for a couple of hours I headed back.

I then took the car and went to check out the local area and had a late lunch at a Mexican restaurant.

Around supper time a young couple pulled into camp site behind mine. They were very nice- Valerie & Lionel from France. They were over here in the US going cross country too!! They were traveling in a jeep type truck. On top was a (what I called Mac Box) large box type container. To my surprise this opened up into a tent that stayed on top of the vehicle!!! They even had a ladder to use to get up into it! This was very neat to see!!!! They had asked me if I had been to France? I said no I hadn't- and they looked confused! LOL So I asked why they thought I had....They said cause of my tent. I guess the guy who designed it was from France- and they didn't realize the tents were being sold over here! We talked for a bit then settled into our sites for the night.
