Sunday 28 October: Tourism begins!

Finally we started to become tourists today!  Although we've been coming to Florida for over 20 years, we've never visited one of Florida's many state parks, so we thought we'd put that right.

A few miles from the villa is Lake Louisa State Park.  Admission is $5 per vehicle and that's it!  It's open from 8am to sundown, 365 days a year.  Two things struck me about it - how beautiful the environment there was and how primitive it was.  There was very little tourist infrastructure and honesty boxes were in place for people to pay for such as kayak hire.  There was one set of toilets for the 4372 acres of park!



When I was young, this is what the word "Florida" conjured up for me

A reminder that this is a shared facility!


Oh well, I suppose someone has to police a lawless place like this!







This is Dixie Lake nearby














This is about as exciting as it gets here!
