Yup, we’re in Florida now, and it’s hot and humid. I’m thinking we got here too soon. Actually, it is unusually warm here for November so we’ll stay and wait for it to cool.

Our first stop was at the Florida Welcome Center where we picked up a bag full of brochures and information about where to go and what to see while we’re here. All visitors are offered a complimentary cup of cold Florida orange juice or grapefruit juice.

Our first stay in Florida is on I-92 just north of Jacksonville, at Pecan Park RV Resort. It’s a bit more expensive than we are used to paying but it’s a nice place and is a good place to hang out while we decide what we’re going to do next.

That was yesterday and it was 93 degrees and very humid. So this morning we decided to explore in the morning before it got too hot. We went to Little Talbot State Park and Big Talbot State park east of Jacksonville, on the Atlantic Ocean. It was getting pretty hot and very humid already.

After a late lunch at a local restaurant we went home to chill in the air-conditioning for the rest of the day.
