DEWEY IN FLORIDA

We started our trip to St Simon's Island, Georgia to  celebrate our first date, 30 years ago.   However, we planned the trip before we remembered the anniversary.   We are old now, and that is the way the old function. It did not matter.  We enjoyed celebrating our first date.  It was a grand place to visit for a few days. DAY ONE  We got on the road in good time.  So much easier to pack a car than pack for an airplane. We skipped I-95 and added a few minutes to the trip by going back roads.  Well worth the longer trip.  Sometimes the road cut through dense forest.  Sometimes farms showed up with beef cattle.  Most were Black Angus, but one field was scattered with an assortment of colors and included some calves. There was no traffic and the surroundings were more accessible from these two lane roads than they ever seem from an expressway. We seemed to have plenty to talk about. There is something very nice about conversation in the car with no distractions, no constant phones, no

 We stopped for a night in Gainesville and visited the Art Museum on the campus there. It was a grand experience.  The art was ecclectic and all around us were young college students, some dressed up for the fashion show that was to happen later that night.   The museum is always free.  This night even the $4 parking was free. I enjoyed the jutxtaposed attitude in people, the contrast between those selling fish and the rich, well dressed looking on the sales. This really reminded me of scenes of my childhood.  It all was more vivid than the camera catches. There was an entire room dedicated to Budhist themed works.  Some of it did not appeal much to me, but this one was grand. I am not much for abstract sculpture, but this seemed very different.  The crab and and musical score were all very well constructed. We thought Cory would like this one with all the bicycles.
