The neon paint on these trees around the college was so bright, it looked as though the trunks and branches were lit.

This business caught Larry's eye, and not because of the baby strollers, either.

Note the ever-present street sign, persistently and constantly and continuously jumping into my pictures.

The palm tree trunks won't stay out of the way, either.





St. Francis Barracks









Is the pink plastic flamingo included?




























See the drawbridge going up?




Look, they're having a wedding, smack-dab between Yield and Drawbridge Ahead!  :-D





There's the big sailboat for which the drawbridge was lifted.










Boardwalk to the beach

Larry on boardwalk

It's quite dark now; we couldn't see the ocean, really.  My camera 'sees' it, because I had it on a tripod, and the shutter stayed open for quite a while.  

Victoria -- hearing the roar of the Atlantic breakers for the first time.

Larry, reading the historical marker.

We ate at Alfie's Restaurant tonight.  This is Victoria's meal:  flounder, mixed vegetables, and macaroni and cheese.

My meal was chicken enchiladas -- and it was big enough for four of me!  I took most of it with me in a Styrofoam box, and Larry will have it for breakfast in the morning.

Our room at Coral Sands Inn.

It's an older hotel, but very nice.



We particularly liked the louvered decks.


In the morning, we will head to the AQS Quilting Show at the Ocean Center Auditorium in Daytona Beach.
