Day #114 - Clearwater, FL
November 22nd, 2008A beautiful day (sunny, 50/70) to get out and see the area around Clearwater. We headed out with Bob and Deb and headed to Dunedin. It was settled by Scottish immigrants in 1899 and includes Honeymoon Island and Caladesi State Park. Beautiful old sleepy Florida town. Many old, stately homes along the shore.
Next headed to Tarpon Springs which is the sponge capital and enjoys rich Greek heritage. Many of the people on the streets spoke Greek, no English. Ate a a terrific Greek Restaurant and walked and walked all over town and the marinas.
Many thanks to Deb for the great photos as hers were much better than mine.
Walked to Pier 60 in Clearwater to watch the sunset and people watch. The Sunsets at Pier 60 Society was incorporated as a not-for-profit organization in 1994 and officially began on March 17, 1995. The festival originally ran from Thursday evening through Monday evening until June of 1998 when it expanded to seven nights a week. In 2005 the festival celebrated its 10th anniversary of providing locals and visitors with Clearwater Beach’s only free form of family entertainment. As a result of its growth and continued success, Sunsets at Pier 60 now operates 365 days per a year weather permitting. The Sunsets at Pier 60 Society in partnership with the City of Clearwater.
Another great day in Clearwater.
