Our lives have changed very dramatic, little did we know how fragile it can be and how everything is interwoven in this World! I will call it the CHINA FLU because that is what it is, A very serious and very contagious virus that originated in CHINA, that may or may not have been made in a lab and released to us in the world. Hopefully our government will get to the bottom of it and open our Country back up so we can begin to live our lives in a somewhat normal way. Geni and I have been very lucky to be here in Cedar Key, Florida. It is most likely the safest place on the east coast! The town of Cedar key shut down the Island to anyone not living here! So the road was empty of traffic and people these last two months! We our still working at Cedar Key RV resort and plan to stay here for awhile!
One of our last trips before all of this happened was to vist Geni's Aunt Cherl in Tampa. Little did we know that Cuba had such an influence in this part of Florida. The original Cuba immigrant's landed here in the early 1900's and started the most awesome town of Ybor , they were master cigar makers and made Ybor world famous for the best cigars in the world! Along with Italian and German immigrant's this city flourished in the early 1900's with many private clubs and one of the most famous Latin Restaurants in the world "The Columbia". If you are every in the Tampa, Florida area you must have lunch or dinner here, it is an experience you wont forget!

We were just so amazed that a city like this was still around with all of its original architecture and night clubs along with and original working trolley car!
