Freezin' our Fannies in Fountain, Florida


I know, I know - it's not as cold here as it is back home but cold is a relative thing and when you're living in an RV, minus 7 is cold! Even Benji stays buried under the quilt, savouring the warmth of the bed. Oh, and a tip - buy propane stocks - at the rate we're burning it up you're bound to make a bundle (LOL).








All complaining (or whining) aside, the cold is taking its toll on our activites. Most of the touristy things to do in this part of the world take place outside. Swimming, golf - not great when it's hovering around zero. We did take a day to visit the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, Florida. Got to ride in a simulator, watch an IMAX movie about helicopters and even sit in the cockpit of a Blue Angel aircraft.





After all that stress of "flying", we took a moment to relax at the NAS Phillipines Club. The Club was dismantled, transported to Pensacola and recreated inside the musuem. The wood carvings in the Club were done by local Phillipino woodworkers to honour the men and women who served at the Naval Air Station.
The locals tell us the cold snap is about to break. We're keeping our fingers crossed and hoping to get a few rounds of golf in and a chance to check out Panama City and its beaches before moving on to central Florida. See ya next week.
