Saturday 26 September
Jim took the car to have new tyres fitted and after
that we went for brekky. By this time it
was about 10am and the line at IHOP was out the door! So we walked a short way down the road to the
Starlite Diner. It looks very much like
a 50’s diner from the outside and inside is also fitted out with neon and red
patent leather like the 50’s… The food
was fantastic and so was the coffee!
We left in the car for DeLand, about 30 minutes
from Daytona. Lesley had said that the
downtown area was nice with some cafes and shops. When we arrived we were surprised to find
that the streets were closed - it was
the local ‘Art n Craft Fair’! Lesley and
I walked the street looking at the stalls and enjoying the scenery. It was a very warm day…. The boys soon found
a Half Wall Beer House – air conditioned and with wall to wall television sets
showing a different game on each one! We
also stumbled upon Persimmon Hollow – a craft brew house – so we stopped in to
cool off and sample one of their brews.
Inside the brew house....
A very unusual men's room!
We were headed to Liz & Harvey’s for dinner,
they had invited us when we had seen them last Monday night. On the way we had a quick look in a few
shops, bought some beer and drove to their house. They have two dogs, one is a pug named Sambo,
so cute, and he stays inside with ‘Mum’.
Liz made an incredible lasagna and salad, home made
garlic bread followed by a Chocolate Cake (made with grated zucchini)! It was a lovely evening.
On the way home, we had to stop and buy the boys
some ‘supplies’ as they were going fishing in the morning. Walmart is open 24 hrs so we stopped. I was amazed at how busy it was after 9pm on
a Saturday night!
