Panama City Beach

On the trip down we passed through Godrich Ontario.

Still much evidence of the storm damage from last spring.

The town square was completely covered by large trees and all were lost.

Lots of retail buildings and  homes were still in the recovery stage.

After four hotel stops ..........

thanksgivivg dinner.........

and great Mexican dishes........

we arrived in Panama City Beach.

Unfortunately after two nights at a local US navy base, they decided to escort us off the base due to updated security concerns. NOTE TO SELF.....when two well armed, retired marine military police request you to leave it is not a good idea to say " I'm Canadian and won't leave without a fight".

It was a good thing the biggest marine had a tuned sense of humour and started to laugh!!!

Maybe I should have mentioned I had a "fully loaded" Tim Horton card concealed in my wallet!

We booked into the St. Andrews State Park located at the entrance to Panama City harbour.

Chris "waving"!

Interesting sand dunes.

Temperatures in the high 60's at day and mid 30's at night.

A crab washed to shore with the high winds.

Lots of local deer in the campground.

Chris is attending an art course at the state college today.
