TARON SPRINGS - LET'S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN!

 IT'S GREEK TO ME!!!!


It's a beautiful Florida day and we have decided to visit Tarpon Springs, a delightful Greek community about a half hour north of Clearwater Beach.  It resembles the family vacation destinations of my childhood, tourists shops and barkers on the street trying to drum up business for the sponge diving cruises.  I believe nothing has changed.

On the way, we pass what may become our lodging for next year.  Since this was such a bad winter , we presume that  everyone up north is already booking through 2020!

If this is all that is left, we decide to start  Happy Hour  at 10 AM.

Barely out of the car in Tarpon Springs and we are greeted to this!  (as if we didn't already know)

Cruise anyone?

More shell ideas for the folks back home!?!

Here is Sponge Bob returning to his roots!

Since we aren't going to sea, we decide to visit the tourist shops. There is something for everyone??  Hmmmmmm

And here is the piece de resistance - someone had to hold me back to keep from buying it! Oh, so many places to put it.

And speaking of many uses.......

If you don't own an evil eye, please visit Tarpon Springs.  They are everywhere.  Gotta run! Shopkeeper  just spotted me taking pictures.

After we speed away from Tarpon Springs with angry shopkeepers chasing us with raised fists, we MUST have dinner at Guppy's !

Scallops and Shrimp

Steak and mashed potatoes

Short Ribs
