| alachua to st. petersburg |
| January 26, 2008We have been trying to make an Overnight-er every other week. One thing you can not plan on is the weather. Saturday morning we for some breakfast. We took hwy 19 alternate 19 to the inn at St. Petersburg. With the rain I could not film on the way down. The return trip home I did film a little, but seemed cumbersome with all the clothes I had on to move the camera around. |
| America's Best Inn downtown St. Petersburg.Arrived about 2 pm. As usual we unpacked and headed out to check downtown out. We saw the pier and after a little bit of riding we went to it. They charge for parking, before we paid I asked it they had any noticed a few spots. |
| go back in time and see what it looked like then, and the surroundings. I believe there were about 20 rooms and the price seemed very reasonable. And like usual we met some pretty good people there. |
| On the left we are on the pier at Captain Al's, which was a great bar, and they have a good size dinning room too. We had reservations at the Red Mesa with Steve's brother and sister-in-law and her brother. Mexican food is what they serve. When we arrived we had a 30 minute wait. The bar just opened, there were seven of us and there was seven bar stools so that worked out fine. I was impressed watching the chef and his crew cooking which I had a birds eye view from were I was sitting. |
| I have not eaten much at Mexican restaurants so I was really watching the cooks and the plates they had prepared to give me an Idea what to order. If I can't say it, I can describe it. The food was great, we had a good time too. didn't mind. It defiantly would have been great if we had more time here to explore, more time, more money. The Inn keepers were very friendly. We met in the parlor with Steve & Jill and started talking about what we wanted to see the next day on the way home. They did have a Bike Expo, I would have liked to go, but that would have taken to much time. We took a different route home. Hwy 60 to 301 then 441. We did stop at Brandon Harley Davidson for a good 45 minutes. |
| I know Marcia is in her element right now. Any time we make an over night trip, for one or more nights she is excited. I got to say its great to get out and explore, and even though we got wet, it still make all the difference to us by taking the bikes, it's just wouldn't be the same with out them. |
| Here we are getting back to our regular riding area, still on hwy 301 in Wildwood. Heading north on 301 just a little before the overpass is the Ole Coffee House. Now it's chow time. They serve a buffet on Sundays, they may serve one every day I don't know. The food made one more stop at Pearls in Micanopy to say our good byes and headed home. The whole way home from there I was wondering where Marcia's mind was taking us to next. I'll find out soon. Until next time, Ride Safe.... JUST GET OUT AND RIDE Michel & Marcia |
