A Brief Stop in West Palm Beach
I stopped to prepare lunch and relax a bit at Currie Park in West Palm Beach.

Pensacola Visit
It was great visiting with Terri, Crystal, Andy, Desmond, and Puck on Wednesday and Thursday. On Thursday Andy made a vegan version of his favorite Risotto recipe. The dish was naturally creamy without oils, used porcini mushrooms and spinach, and contained no added salt. It was so good. The picture is from Andy’s recipe book, but our dish looked almost just like it.
Earlier in the day Terri, Puck, and I visited Fort Pickens, built with 21 million bricks in 1834. It is perhaps best known for Geronimo’s imprisonment.

South Florida Road Trip Notes
I’ll be completing the drive home soon. While I’m hanging out in Jacksonville waiting for the ice and snow to clear in Birmingham, I thought I would write a few notes on this one month road trip. Given the weather in Birmingham, the timing for this trip was truly serendipitous.
Goodbye South Florida
These photos of Vero Beach were shot yesterday after I had lunch at Maria’s. I made it to Jacksonville today, where the sun is not shining. This month-long road trip is almost over.
Maria’s Surprise
After working this morning, I decided to go north along highway 1, thinking perhaps I might make it to Titusville. But I was only a few miles up the road, getting close to Vero Beach, when my stomach reminded me I needed to eat. I have food in the Roadtrek, but just on a whim, I asked Siri for a “vegetarian restaurant near Vero Beach”, knowing a vegetarian joint often has vegan options. I didn’t expect any response at all, but I was in for a pleasant surprise. On to Maria’s Organic Fountain.
Fort Pierce State Park
Since the internet connection here at Savannas Recreation Area was behaving this morning, I decided to work inside the Roadtrek for the first time on this road trip.
After work, there was still plenty of time in the day, so I headed out to Fort Pierce State Park. I went on a short bike ride and snapped a few photos. I was fortunate to still be there at sunset.
Lazy Day at Savannas Recreation Area
No rides and no beaches today. I’m slowly heading north. After stopping at Jonathan Dickinson State Park, I kept moving north and wound up at Savannas Recreation Area near Ft. Pierce, where I’m overnighting with hookups. Yea electricity. I even have wifi here — well, when it’s working anyway. Here are a few photos from both of these peaceful areas.

Juno Beach and a Ride
I started the ride from Juno Beach this morning and quickly joined two road bikers — Edwin and Chris. We rode from Juno Beach to a very large outdoor Green Market in West Palm Beach and back. After returning to Juno Beach, I snapped a few pictures of the beach area, featuring the ocean-loving canine Marley.

Bike Ride from MacArthur Park
When I stopped by Bicycle World in Jupiter yesterday, the guys in the store told me about a 15 mile loop from John D MacArthur park in Palm Springs Gardens. I rode the loop twice, and stopped often to take pictures of stuff that caught my eye. The weather was perfect.
