Last Day in St. Pete's

Time has just flown by... and today was our last day in St. Petersburg. This morning we drove over to Tampa and visited the Home Depot, Target and this great organic supermarket called Wild Oats. It was interesting checking out the local stores - the variety here is just incredible, and at such cheap prices. We also stopped at a car wash and had the Lincoln handwashed and detailed for just $10... someone needs to take this business idea to Australia. For $10 I would get my car done weekly!

After a bit of a tidying up and packing up our things, Dad and I went to the park to feed the squirrels. Unfortunately, they are not as friendly as the London squirrels... obviously at the park we went to they are used to fending for themselves because they were too scared to come near me even after some coaxing with peanuts!

When we got home, Mike and Jeanette came round for a drink and then we headed out for dinner. Firstly, though, we stopped by St. Pete's beach as Mike said there were more tourist friendly squirrels down there... and he was right! These ones are down with the free nuts and will eat out of your hand.

The beach in St. Petersburg is out onto the bay so it was unbelievably calm. Lots of white sand, palm trees and people out for an evening jog (it was about 7.30pm).

Then we headed down to the pier to have dinner at a local seafood restaurant. Tomorrow we head to Vermont.
