Day 14: November 17, 2020 All City, All the Time Comment via blog Check Granny's letters of the day

A Citrus Center marker starts today's journal after nearly ending yesterday's. This one is on the western edge of Polk County, has no spelling errors, and is almost hidden in the trackside clutter. There is reported to be a third of these markers though I've not seen it.

I've always rather liked Ybor City though Granny didn't mention it. That's it in the first picture. I think of it as being separated a bit from Tampa but the two are pressed tightly against each other. I doubt Granny would recognize either one.

I also doubt that she would recognize either Dunedin or Clearwater both of which she did mention. That's Dunedin in the first two pictures. The last picture is near the beach south of Clearwater. Granny reported that the beach "was so cold that we did not stay long". I no doubt could have parked some where and walked nearer the beach for a clearer view if I was so inclined but I wasn't.

I've been thinking that I should check out the Salvador Dali museum on this trip so drove directly there when I reached Saint Petersburg. In a demonstration of the value of planning, I found it closed. I decided to stick around until tomorrow when it will be open. Today all I have is this photo of some whimsical creatures near the entrance, but I'll be back.

I was aware of The Inn On Third from previous searches so, when it popped up with a special deal in a search from the museum parking lot, I booked it and headed directly there. My room is on the right side of the hallway. Note that among the many things within walking distance of the inn are three breweries.
