Day 21 - January 15, 2018 - Mount Dora

Sorry about the delay in this posting.  I left my camera case at Jo-Ann's last night and had to retrieve it today in order to download pictures.

We had intended to take in the Circle B Bar Reserve today.  But, their website cautioned that Martin Luther King Day might alter their hours.  After two phone calls a half hour apart went unanswered we decided to reload, and instead drove to Mount Dora to enjoy the atmosphere.

On the way out of the complex we showed Jo-Anne the River Island section.












The lazy river above, and the climbing tower and (deflated) water slide below.

In Mount Dora, lunch at Cecile's French Corner is a favourite.  Today I had a salad and a smoked salmon quiche.  The ladies had soup and a crepe.

Then some shopping.
We'll go out of sequence to show you a dress-up moment when we got home to show off the new necklaces.

Saw this sign outside one of the stores.

And this tee shirt is a popular item.

The Mount Dora Lawn Bowling Club includes a Canadian flag on the property.  Note the all white attire.

We took a walk on the boardwalk and through the jungle along the waterfront.
The Great Blue Herons were frantically protecting their eggs from dozens of Black Vultures.

Then we headed to Jo-Ann's for games of Hand and Foot.  The rookie and Mardi almost pulled it off, but Jo-Ann and I won both games.

We will get together tomorrow for a second round - Jo-Anne and Mardi have already started the trash talk.  Should be fun.
