Yet another warm day in the sunny south, up to the mid 70’s. We are expecting some storms tonight, which appear to be at the tail end of the winter storm up north. Enjoy!
I didn’t get around to writing a proper entry last Monday due to the dreaded cough / cold, so here it is now.
We headed south to the town of Fernandina Beach on Amelia Island in Florida. As it turned out we spent most of the day driving in contravention of Florida State law, as we were not in possession of an International Driving Licence. Evidently Florida recently introduced the law to ensure that all driving documents would be available in English so the cops could read them. The law has since been put in abeyance as i) nobody knew about it and ii) it is in apparent breach of the Geneva Convention regarding free traffic movement!
Fernandina Beach is an oldy worldy town, and reminded me of many towns in New Zealand. The downtown core was alive with individual stores with no sign of the big conglomerates.

We wandered around the town, and along to the water front where we saw some pelicans waiting to catch lunch

It was now our turn to have lunch, so being near the shore it was time to find a seafood restaurant. Yet another great lunch of shrimp for me and this time lobster for Lyn. The weather was nice enough that we could sit outside, which was a bonus.
After lunch it was off to find the beach to walk off the recently added calories. Again the beach was miles of fine white sand, and almost deserted.
