Old fishing boat.
After Kate’s family reunion, we had to leave Blue Spring early to get to Lake City for an RV repair appointment. We just had a few last fixes that had been held up waiting for parts. We spent most of the day driving around town with Bailey and Gypsy, then spent a night at Walmart before driving to the Panhandle, where we had reservations at a state park. On the way, we stopped at Apalachicola for lunch.
Cute tourist shop.
We’d heard this little fishing village was worth a stop, and it was. The town itself is a mix of run-down and renovated “Cracker houses” and Victorians, and the tiny downtown is quaint and historic. Apalachicola is making a strong effort to bring in some tourist trade. We even had the mayor step out of a tiny City Hall office and ask where we were from, how we were liking our visit.
There’s not a whole lot to the place, but it was definitely worth a walk-around, a lunch stop, and a few fun photos.
