I’m leaving in a blue car…

My first day
Well, this has been a real soft landing on the first day. Ellen (younger sister) and I are in Tallahassee visiting Zachary, my nephew who decided to go to FSU. I guess the loyalty skips a generaltion. Mom went to Florida State College for women, the precursor to FSU. Of course all my generation were GATORS. Will give you my impression of the place later. For now, we are checked into our hotel – the Governors Inn. The beds are about 4 feet off the ground. Photos to come.

Leaving Tallahassee
Shopping at antique stores and eating great food. Found a really wonderful vintage fountain pen. Because of course I needed another one. Ellen and I bought two vintage books for Zachary’s future mahogany library – a 1932 edition of Jules Verne’s “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” and an old copy of Ibsen’s plays.
Food Glorious Food
This is a big OOOOO (that’s five O’s) rating. The filet had a unique smokey and delicious flavor. The escargot were the best I’ve had. My peppered tuna on a bed of tomato and garlic spinach was so tender and tasty. YUM.
