Suwanee River

Way down upon the Suwannee river…

This is a neat little area that we stumbled upon. This southern river flows gently, and is very pretty, with trees overhanging the banks. Our campsite was quiet with lots of room to roam (played bocce). The campsite owner shared some, “local things to do”, ideas with us and we stayed a couple of nights longer than we had originally planned There are a few state parks close by and one of the parks is called Manatee park We didn’t get the opportunity to see any but we did do some other neat things. We drove about 40 miles to the coast and did a day trip to Cedar Keys. This was an area I really enjoyed. It’s curious how features strike you as comfortable or pleasing, or that you really like and others not so much. The atmosphere in this small coastal town seems pretty laid back. The ocean is gentle and there are small islands interspersed around the bays. The homes are generally nice looking. People drive golf carts to get around. We took a boat trip out into the bay and around a couple of Islands. Saw some dolphins. Ate Grouper (wonderful) and Mullet for the first time. It was a nice day.
