Our month in Largo ends tomorrow. We're only driving 72 miles north to "Sumpter Oaks RV Park", a few miles from Bushnell and Brooksville, Florida. We'll stay for at least a week, maybe two. Good bye city, hello countryside! I won't miss driving in the Tampa/St. Pete traffic but we had a great time here.



Yesterday we drove to downtown St. Petersburg. This is the Pier with the inverted pyramid at the end. The pyramid contains various shops, a restaurant, other eating options, an aquarium, and observation deck. It's pretty cool but the city is getting ready to close it and tear down the pier and replace it with an entirely new one.

Must have been a sailboat race in the bay
 
 
This fellow let me get within 3 feet.
 
 
Treasure Island Beach
 
 
This is the largest inflatable I've ever seen. It's a slide a couple of guys put up, hoping to cash in on the upcoming spring break crowd.
 
 
Maybe a sailboat in our future??? This is a small Hunter Marine 27 footer for sale.
 
 
For our final photo...I give you Baklava! This is the best I've ever eaten, by far. While in Tarpon Springs we bought it at the Hellas Bakery. They have all kinds of Greek deserts and bread.
