Wow, day 14! It feels like we have been gone so long but it has only been 2 weeks! We started the day leisurely at the Lauer Resort and completely loved our time with our friends and got to see their daughter and grand kids while we were there. Paul and I (mostly Paul) gave the RV a bath and it is shining like new, the sun glare will really stop the other motorists in their tracks! Packed up our gear and then headed to the Canadian neighbors for a “Caesar” to celebrate the start of a new week, Canadian style. It is like a smoother, less tomatoey Bloody Mary with more accouterments for garnish. Thank you Dieter and Suzanne for a tasty treat and your friendly company.
A picture to mark the visit and a good bye to our friends and to Cape Coral.
The drive to our Camp in Lake Placid, Florida, was uneventful. After driving for a bit, we felt like we were in Texas, driving through miles of dry fields spotted with cattle and no palm trees in sight, a very different view from The Cape. After passing some Bear Crossing signs (yikes), we drove through a bazillion acres of orange groves… Ah, yes, we are still in Florida! We came to Camp Cloverleaf which is a 4-H Camp and were greeted by Bucky, the team leader, who showed us where to park. The camp is right on Lake Francis just north of Lake Placid, which is south of Sebring, which is north east of The Cape 🙂 Confused yet? Here is the sunset tonight – I never get tired of the sunset.
Once there and settled in (oh about 15 minutes) we got introduced to some of the other volunteers and got the lay of the land. Big roomy showers, real bathrooms, laundry, kayaks, canoes, all free of charge. We found out that we are actually going to be working on a build in Lake Placid which is just 5 miles down the road. We gathered dinner and did some relaxing and those of you reading this that know Paul prides himself in the strategies of Backgammon…I BEAT Paul in Backgammon…multiple times – running total Carol 4/Paul 3. I haven’t played in years because Paul always beat me so it wasn’t much fun always loosing – Ha, the tables have turned!
Well, it looks like they are rolling up the sidewalks here and I have to make my posts quicker while I am here because I am using the hotspot on my phone so TTFN (TaTaForNow).
