Daytona

we made it  - travelling 200 miles from Miami   - the Sheraton Airport Hotel was like Victoria bus station with so much turbulence with people staying overnight for flights plus aircrew's. Glad to move.

We have a red dodge and traffic on I-95 was quiet  -  the highlight for your ma is stopping at MacDonald's  for a big mac  - our only one in the year. You should see faces when we order so UK people not too common   - you would think we were speaking in  a foreign language.

The condo resembles an east European -drab  -  costs 40k to buy  - very small bedsit   - however we always make best of things and very satisfied as we are overlooking beach and sea as I type and we are away from hoi polloi   - we can drive and park freely .  The location makes up for everything and we are very comfortable.  we are youngest in block  - and elderly from Malta loves to speak as her father worked for British and she emigrated to UK and worked at Spalding in farms before marrying a yank.

We shop at Publix  - the US co-op  - which is near us   - our diet is now salads and fruit   - unfortunately  my local boozer sells only Bud and is like the black hole of Calcutta   - what a bunch of dummies .  Still I join in -  the last group were here from NY  - annual event for Daytona races - they drunk as though there was no tomorrow.

Ma loves her Kindle and it will cost a fortune as all the eBooks she like are expensive  - for Amazon it is a licence to print money.  She will be expert on Tudor History/Russian Romanoff's  and Hollywood stars !
