January 30, 2026. Continuing west along the Gulf of Mexico, we stopped for lunch in Apalachicola. This really cute town is older than dirt, and chances are pretty good that wherever you are in this country, you’ve eaten seafood that was caught in the waters that surround this town.
January 29, 2026. So, we are now in Florida’s panhandle-also known as the forgotten coast-and it is beautiful! Gorgeous unspoiled beaches borders the highway as we make our way west.
