Pasco Winter Quarters, Land-o-Lakes, FL:  Rain was predicted for today, but this morning dawned bright and sunny.  No clouds or fog.  Beautiful day.  We had a bunch of things to take care of before we leave tomorrow.  Took care of that.  Took a walk around the lake and then sat outside enjoying this beautiful day.  Mike was looking forward to going back to Skipper’s Smokehouse in North Tampa.  Had a problem finding the place, but finally got there.  This place was featured on the cable program “Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives”.  Their specialty is gator ribs.  I didn’t even know alligators had ribs.  This is a quirky little place which reminds us of some of the quirky places in Key West.  Mike had his ribs and said they were really good.  I tried them last time, and they actually were very tender and tasty.  Back to our park and relaxed the rest of the evening.  Tomorrow we leave for Lake Manatee which is near Sarasota.
