Arizona/Florida Trip - Day 49

Saturday, March 28th

When we woke up this morning the rain was gone and it was noticeably cooler.  The outside thermometer said 55 degrees.  The cold front had passed through and it was now sunny, cooler and a little breezy.

After our morning activities were completed, we decided to check out a huge indoor/outdoor flea market just down the road.  It was fun to walk around the place.  They had just about every kind of thing you would expect at a flea market, and more. A lot of it was low-end, used things as well as clothing and Dollar Store stuff from China and beyond.  They even had a building for used furniture, mattresses and appliances.  And, you could buy snakes, turtles, birds and puppies in the live animal section.  We also saw at least one optical shop where you could get your eyes examined before you bought their glasses.  We missed the dentist’s office booth and I think I saw a sign advertising colonoscopies, but it might have been in a building we didn’t get to.  There were also several guns and ammo booths selling a range of weaponry up to the AR-15 assault rifle level, and maybe more heavy-duty stuff out back in their vans. There was certainly something for everyone, including live entertainment with a C&W singer singing Johnny Cash songs with electronic accompaniment and a food court with carnival midway kind of food selections. We did buy some fresh produce and a few other little things, but passed on the big items like the Tiki-Tacky bamboo bars and rattan furniture with appropriate beach/jungle accessories to decorate our RV (or home) patio.

Our plan was to go over to Dunedin and watch the sunset over the gulf one more time, but we got involved in starting to get things ready for breaking camp and decided to stay “home”.  Our last game is tomorrow, then we will get back to the RV to finish getting ready to depart for our real home early Monday morning.
