After our brief stop at Flagler Beach, we puttered our way south of Daytona Beach to Ponce de Leon Inlet Light. We were kinda expecting heavy traffic in Daytona due to all the race activity, but it just didn't materialize. What we did see was not one, but two Goodyear blimps! Becky caught several good photos of them, but I just couldn't seem to pull off the shot.
The Ponce de Leon Inlet Light is the tallest one in the state, with construction starting in 1835. It was abandoned in 1970, but in 1982, the light was returned to active service. We toured the grounds and buildings before heading up to the 203 steps to the top. Whew that was a lung-burner!
After splitting an order of fried pickles, I chowed down on Key West pink shrimp, while Becky enjoyed her fish and chips. Lynard Skynard was blasting from the speakers, the pelicans were on the dock waiting to be fed, it was a warm 83 degrees, and we enjoyed every single minute of it!
Thanks for dropping by this evening and picking up your dual A1A Postcards!!
