Ann, a NC native who works there in the winter months, told us we needed Valencia or Pineapple oranges, but they had neither this morning. Instead, we bought a special grapefruit called Pomelo that doesn't interact with medicines like most do. We tasted it first and it was yummy! We also got to walk back in the warehouse to take a look at the behind-the-scenes operation.
Becky did a bit of research on the bridge and we learned that it collapsed in May of 1980, killing 40 people! A freighter ran into the bridge in a blinding thunderstorm. I'm glad I learned this AFTER crossing the bridge!
The skies got darker and darker as we got closer and closer to Weeki Wachee, but a visit was still in our plans. When we were little, our parents took us there to see the mermaids and we've talked about going back for a couple years now.
If you don't mind, I'll take a few days off from sending out Postcards and I'll see ya next Monday. Thanks for traveling along with us on our Florida trip!!
