Nov 1-4, 2013 749km/7,300km Mobile AL - Pensacola FL - Marianna - Live Oak - Gainesville

Stayed in Mobile another day before leaving for Florida on Nov 2. Since then it's been mostly driving, not so much sightseeing. Did visit the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, though, home of the Blue Angels. Wow, quite a museum, perfect for Rolf, so many planes in there!!!

It's surprisingly cool in Florida, maybe except for today. We are staying at the Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park South of Gainesville and it's quite humid. Mosquito-country! Can't take Chester on some of the walks here due to alligators, snakes and bisons. Different kind of problem from the black bears back home :-)

Not much else to say other than that we find Florida very clean and well maintained - well, I guess at least where we are going. Same with Alabama, actually! Can't believe all the huge areas of lawn that need to be cut all the time. Guess grass grows much slower here than in our yard... ;-) At least I hope so  for the guys that do the cutting...

Chester is so easy to travel with,
always sleeping when we are driving!

Hey, Second Chance 42 has finally left the Gran Canary Islands!!!
