Trip to Florida

Click on any of the little pictures to see it full size (as big as it goes).

Here is the engine of faithful Toyota wagon. I am using it to cook my dinner. The dinner is resting between the exhaust manifold (lower) and engine head (top). I have been bold enough to cook on the exhaust manifold while driving at city speeds (up to 50 MPH) but not at highway speeds. It is slower than a conventional oven and heats less evenly than a microwave (the worst of both), but you can't beat the price and convenience (to me). Next is a picture of the library in Okochobee, FL. They would have great internet access except of a policy (mostly on honor it seems) to not permit foreign diskettes (like ones that have been in my camera). What to do?
As I went from Georgia the terrain gradually changed with no more cotton. There were still grass and grazing cows, but the scrub pine switched to more palm and palmetto with moss growing everywhere, even from telephone wires. I stayed the night in the parking lot of Bally's in Orlando, FL and headed south on US Rt 41, then US Rt 441 and US Rt 98 to Palm Beach. Then south on I95 to Boca Raton on the 19th for the rehearsal dinner for the wedding.
