So while traveling around Ormond Beach area, we toured the John D. Rockefeller home that he spent his last years and died in. The home sits between the ocean and intercoastal waters. It's now a renovated, refurnished replica of his time. They were getting ready for their lavish Christmas Gala, like John D. used to do.
We stopped for lunch at this interesting diner. Themed from the 50-60's. Food was very good, service slow but speed is not our moto lately. 70's and sunny all day.
New Smyrna Beach Dunes Park has a 1 1/2 mile boardwalk thru the dunes and state park. Saw many turtles nesting, pelicans in a flock like geese, vulcures (won't tell you what they were tearing apart), and schools/pods? of dolphins. They were playing and flippin' their tales at each other having a great time.
When we were in Savannah GA we saw the exact spot where the "bench scene" in Forest Gump was filmed. In Ormond Beach we got to see the actual bench! Today we are taking a 30+mile tour of "The Loop", a scenic, curvy loop that every motorcycle down here rates a "must see". It ends up on the beach, where you ride up the beach on the sand for a few miles. Another pretty day 77 and sunny.
