on one overcast day we went driving & end'd up in Tarpon Springs the Greek community which was once famous for its sponges. I remember as a boy seeing Robert Wagner as a Greek sponge diver in "Beaneth the 12 Mile Reef." location scenes for the movie were shot in Tarpon Springs. we had a sumptious lunch of saganaki & scordalia & grouper. I bought neighbor Rita a small sponge & posed with it at the statue of the diver.
because I'd never been to that part of the state I tackd on a few resort days in Orlando. I simply wasn't ready for such harsh weather.
