Day 20 & 21

David and Denise Fialkosky, Howard and Bev's brother and sister-in-law were kind enough to put us up for the next two nights.  We were planning on seeing them on our way through, but they opened their house to us (complete with swimming pool).  We really enjoyed our time with them over Easter Weekend, especially meeting Denise's father Henry.  He is 91 years old, sharp as a tack, more computer literate than I'll ever be, and a real old fashioned gentleman.  He had dinner with us Saturday night and we had a very enjoyable evening.  Sorry to have missed David.  He was in California visiting his father.  We had the opportunity to spend some time on the Sponge Dock in nearby Tarpon Springs.  The sponge diving industry was started here in  the early 20th Century by Greeks and the area still has a strong Greek flavor.  You can buy ocean sponges at numerous spots on the dock.  We had dinner on the dock Friday night (great food)and returned during the day on Saturday.
