Now that we live 20 minutes away from Tarpon Springs I have a feeling we’ll be heading up here much more often for meals. There’s so many places to get good Greek food. I noticed some different things on a recent trip up for lunch. I don’t ever remember seeing this sign. It really sums up this little town, north of Tampa.
Some of the sights you see walking down the sidewalk. I think that bike must have been submerged at one time.
All of the old boats and buildings are really the personality of the town, not the sponges. Those boats must have some great stories to tell. Most are still in use, either carrying the divers out to get the sponges (do they really still do that?) or taking tourists out to see the sights.

I don’t often think about where sponges come from. Now I’ve gotten curious to learn more about them – how and where they grow and what they do during their days and nights.
Thanks for sparking my curiosity, and for sharing at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2021/11/old-mill-of-guilford.html
