Clermont Florida TT Orlando

I am writing this at 12:12 a.m. it is 65°
we went to Universal Studios to the Blue Man  Group show it was a very good show lasted one hour and 45  minutes.  It was a great show there was action continuous and was very funny. The show started at 6:00 p.m.  we got there at 430 p.m. the sun was setting.




 



Things were sprayed from the stage we were in the third  row we had plastic on us

in the last act they pulled this paper over the whole audience the theater was full of people


Now you can see me

<><><><><><><> These guys were the drummers
 they use black lights so they looked like skeletons did not get pictures with the Blue men would've taken an hour so many   wanting to take pictures and there were three of them .
This is a restaurant that we had dinner at  after the show you can see Forest Gump sitting with Sandra

I took this picture when we were leaving to give you an  idea how was lit up at night .

I arrived back in Orlando at noon today will be here 20 days and plan to check out many of the sites it's cooler now 75°  – 77°  in the day in around 61°  –  62°  at night about 5° or 10° cooler than Peace River. Will be here over Christmas  Will be  cooler to celebrate. It was 80° when I arrived here last year today it was 45° so it does get cold here hopefully when I'm not here.

Wauchula Florida

The weather here has been very mild upper 70s and lower 80s during the day and   52 one night the rest  in the lower 60s .(Looks like we picked the right area to spend the winter so far hope it stays this way )
Today I drove to the Gulf of Mexico about 50 some miles north east. I reach the coast on a outer island at the southern mouth of Tampa Bay. it was an easy trip no traffic until I reach the coast. I pass through a lot of grapefruit groves, orange groves, some farmland and a lot of cattle ranches.
 Near the coast the highway crossed over three  inland waterways connected to Tampa Bay.
 The coast was all hotels and  residence. The state, counties and cities all have access to the water for the public,
where I went to the beach was an area called Holmes Beach operated by Manatee County and the City of  Holmes.
Looking south
looking north the area at the top is the jetty for Tampa Bay
looking West
I change the contrast I did not watch where the sun was when I took the picture
this is the way it should have looked it was overcast

Looks like snow doesn't it, but it's just white sand

Wauchula Florida

Today on my walk I finally got some good pictures of an alligator. He was laying on the sandbar in the river. If you look near his tail you will see a red cup. Not far from there on a log there was a large turtle.
January 16 through the 23rd I will RV Park in Fort Myers Florida which is 60 miles south of the Peace River Park .  I went down there to check out the trip and the park. It was 60 miles of orange trees, farmland, cattle ranches and woods  one  town.
The two alligator pictures are the same alligator just moved to get a better shot

he was across the river from me and I was on a cut bank about 10 feet above the water

A lot of times there's a smaller one up on his back
