What an amazingly beautiful day exploring Tarpon Springs sponge docks and an early evening in Hudson Beach. We had been hoping the weather, here in Florida, would finally break and break it did with cool temps and sunny skies. Tarpon Springs is a Greek community on the West coast of Florida north of Clearwater Beach. A long history of sponge diving and better than the Greek Isles food make this a terrific place to stroll and enjoy all it has to offer. The streets were crowded with tourists, us among them. Janet and I had lived in this area along the beach for many years and were not strangers although we felt like tourists exploring the shops and bakeries along Dodecanese Blvd, the main street. People from all over the globe come here for the culture, food, pastries and real sea sponges along with the pristine waterfront that winds into the Gulf of Mexico. A short drive from Tarpon Springs is Hudson Beach. This very small community is on the Gulf with two restaurants, a motel and marina. Not much to see but a magnificent view of the Gulf of Mexico and spectacular sunsets to be seen. We did eat dinner their and had a good seafood boil with of mussels along with some drinks to complement the sundown. The Gulf coast of Florida has a lot of charm and does not seem as crowded and contrived as the East coast which, although not necessarily a bad thing, is like being in the Northeast with sweltering temps and humidity. We are looking forward to venturing further south along the West coast.
