Touring with Diane

     My sister Diane arrived on Tuesday afternoon and we immediately started wandering around Titusville. We had grilled grouper sandwiches in a sports bar and toured the local Walmart for groceries and beer. Wednesday we headed for the Kennedy Space Center and had a very educational time. They had just hauled a new space vehicle out to pad 39a. It is due to go into space in early February. It was sunny, but the wind was cold. Still we wanted to see the ocean, and Cocoa Beach was the closest place. Captain J's had a view of the beach and we met a funny bartender and a guy from Pittsburgh. I thought the top of the bar was pretty, so naturally I took a picture. On the way back to Christmas, we saw a huge cruise ship in port. Thursday, we visited our cousin Larry Balewski at his real estate office, and he told us how to get to where the old store and gas station was on Ormond Beach. It's a restaurant now, but I can still picture my Aunt Jenny standing out in front. What was even more interesting was seeing the house behind it that I remember an old black lady living in. She taught me how to weave baskets out of palm leaves. Then we headed for Daytona Beach and ended up at the Deck Down Under. The sun was warm and we sat on the deck and watched the sea gulls and one pelican. It has been so cold that the aligators that were normally out at the Kennedy Space Center were hibernating. We checked out the Nature Park and Zoo which is located almost next door to the rv park. I think we're going to pass on the tour. After we dropped the boys off, we went to the Hard Rack Nite Club down the road. It was fun, and they had good music. We called our cousin Libby and are making plans to meet her on Sunday.
