Back In Time

While waiting for the big Kumquat Festival on Saturday I stopped by the Pioneer Florida Museum. It's a museum preserving some of the agricultural history of the area and includes both buildings and displays. In one of the buildings they had several old advertising posters for some of Florida's early citrus producers. Here's a collage with some of the more interesting posters. test

On The Water

Yesterday I took a dip in the swimming hole here at Alexander Springs - it tuns out that the hole is actually called a "Boil" (where the springs water come boiling out) even though it's not a hot spring. Today I started out from that same "boil" for a little kayaking on the Alexander Run - a "run" is what locals call a river whose source is a spring. Got that?

Nice little paddle on crystal clear water with lots of wildlife. I saw fish, birds, turtles, one alligator and two otters. Only two others paddlers during the two hours, so it was also nice and quiet.
