St Joseph Peninsula SP, Port St. Joe, FL
Sleeping until 8:30 is not our style; probably due to yesterday’s long slow drive, being up late and switching time zones. After breakfast, we explored the park on our bikes. It is really amazing with great beaches and dunes on either side. Trees and marshland in the middle. It is a great bird habitat!
Together we covered about 5 miles. Then, I rode the other direction to a little grocery just outside the park to get some half & half with which to bread two dozen fresh oysters we bought yesterday. What a scrumptious lunch; we taste tested three different pepper sauces. I like Slap Ya Mama. Penny likes Ed’s Red. Melinda’s Chipotle finished a respectable third. We reserved the second dozen for dinner.
The 16 miles on the bike tired me out and made for too much sun exposure, so Penny went for a walk on the beach while I napped about an hour. She returned to make a great salad and fried the remaining oysters; it was a delicious dinner! We missed the sunset party on the beach and went to bed early.
