We spent the night in a Cracker Barrel parking lot in Florida then in the morning drove to Payne Prairie Preserve a bit south of Gainsville. This is a unique place where there are bison and wild horses, we saw neither but did a nice long walk and viewed a lot of birds. Then on to or friends in Florida. So far we have visited three new NP sites. All interesting.

OK, I was close to heading back to Ms. McKinley but we finally stopped at a decent coffee shop, actually rated one of the best in the country. I think it was good but not as good as several I have been in and no unique flavors. That of course does not discourage me as creative flavoring is one of my most outstanding characteristics. So, inspired by the travel, I have already sussed out these potential great latte sensations. One I’ll be working is a Ginger/ Peach combo, another effort will be a Pecan & Chocolate with a touch of swamp water and a Boiled Peanut Pumpkin Mousse. More later!
