Tarpon Springs
January, 5 2009 This travellog covers a short visit to Tarpon Springs one afternoon on our way to south Florida. We stopped in Odessa, Florida to visit with friends. Our plan was to meet at Carrabba's around 6PM. Joyce and I arrived at a Super Wal Mart in Odessa where we dropped the motorhome and headed to Tarpon Springs for the afternoon.
