Spent a November week in the area just west of Apalachicola—and in Apalachicola itself—a year before last. Loved it. Touristy, but more like the fifties. Not glitzy. Easy going. Good food. Was ready to move there. And Florida had never interested me before. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA [email protected] “Man has been a murderer forever.” - Peter Matthiessen. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
