Day 137. December 21, 2013. Oyster Heaven!


We spent a second night (free) at this campground on the Gulf.  They call this area the "forgotten coast" as it is still pretty rustic and not built up.  This is the sunrise from our campsite 

We drove around St. George Island, a very nice barrier island that we can see from our campground.  Then to Apalachicola for lunch.  This is the oyster capital of Florida.  This area produces 90% of all oysters in Florida and 10% of all produced in USA.  We went to an oyster restaurant where they feature oysters prepared many ways.  We had them raw, Oreiental style...with soy, ginger and wasabi.  I jotted down some of their other preparations so we can broil or bake them if we buy a bunch.  

After driving through the Apalachicola National Forest, we enjoyed our Saturday night ritual...listening to Prairie Home Companion on NPR.
