February 27 – 28, 2013
Wednesday the 27th was a travel day from Carrabelle Fl to
Ocala Fl – 214 miles. What a difference
a day makes. Yesterday was windy and
angry seas and today was beautiful blue sky and smooth seas. We drove straight through with only a stop
for Gas. It was very good day for a
drive day. This is the last time we have
two drive days in a row. After the drive
we went to the bank and gas station and Carl patiently took me to quilt shops. There was a short social with the whole group
then Carl and I played Mexican Train with two other couples.

Marion County Fl produces more horses than anywhere in the world. Today we took a bus tour of horse farms in
the county. We had a carriage ride at
Horse Country Carriage Co and a BBQ lunch at same. The equestrian team from the University for
Florida train at the same location. I
love the Spanish moss in the trees in this area.
We also visited Silver Springs Nature Park. I would describe it as a combination zoo and
adventure park. We went on a glass
bottom boat ride and a Jeep/trailer ride.
We also toured an area that has a fly in community that has a runway
that can accommodate John Travolta’s 707 and he can taxi up to his house. There are 26 other homes off the runway.
The weather today was beautiful.
Blue sunny sky.

These horses were featured in beginning of one of the Prirates of the Carribean and in a Country Western music video.
