ORMOND BEACH, FL - - We headed west on Saturday to an area we haven't explored before...Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park. The 22,000 acre preserve is located in Micanopy just south of Gainesville. The main visitors area is nice, but we were interested in the La Chua trail, a 3-mile round trip walk. A large sign warned that there were lots of alligators. It was right. And plenty of birds.
On the way home, Lydia's internal GPS led us to Gainesville and Trader Joe's Market. This West Coast business is heading East and definitely worth a stop. There were lots of things you don't find in a regular supermarket or Whole Foods stores. We headed out with some french roast coffee, avacados, and sweet potato chips in case we got the munchies during out 100-mile trip back home.
