We again left about 8 am to head south to Siesta Key, Florida. We debated the options and chose to follow the coastline through Weeki Wachee and many small towns so that we could visit Tarpon Springs. This is a place inhabited by Greeks long ago where they created a thriving sponge industy where they dove for sponge in the beds nearby. Although the sponge industry is no longer so important, the community is still Greek and a major tourist area. We fit right in having gyros for lunch and strolling the shops. I did have a little shopping flurry!
After enjoying a few hours there we went on south through St. Petersburg, Sarasota, and various small towns with lots of traffic to arrive at Siesta Key and our friend Mary's house about 5 pm. Another fine day!

huge sponges...even from the rest.
