CELEBRATION


Today was a lot of fun. Joelene and I are in Florida for a few days and we went to Celebration. That's the name of a CITY here. Right next to Disney. It's one of those planned communities that is a throwback to the 19-whatever's and most of the homes have porches. Behind the homes are alleys you drive down to access your garage. It's kind of a Stepford feel without the creepiness.

So we walked around there and had a great Italian lunch. Then we drove down to Ybor City, which is the birthplace of cigar-making here in the U.S. A big Cuban community began the city and still resides there. (No, I didn't buy one; no, I didn't smoke one.) Ybor City fell out of favor years ago and is now being renovated as one of those new projects to turn 'dilapated' into 'fashionable' again. We're going to hit it later this week and take in some great Cuban food.

It was in the 80's today. I hear it's kind of cold back home. :)

And be blessed.
