Boats along the waterfront in Tarpon Springs. While my sisters were here for Thanksgiving weekend, we headed up to have lunch and walk around the docks. When I was little we use to come down to the Tampa bay area to visit my grandparents and my parents loved to make the drive up to Tarpon to walk around. Little has changed since the 70’s here with the exception of some new public restrooms. The tourist shops have the same stuff and we always leave Hellas with a lot of desserts. The bakery there is the best. They even have chocolate covered baklava.
A small sampling of the desserts and pastries.
Natural sponges are still being harvested today although most sponges you find today are synthetic. Tarpon Springs was built on sea sponges being harvested in the area.
Christmas decorations along the docks. It’s always fun to take a selfie in the big ornaments.
After enduring endless rain and one of the darkest days in Seattle’s weather history, I was delighted to see your sunshiny photos. Thanks for adding some brightness to my day.
