Walking across Pinellas County II

The walk began at 545 Central Ave., St. Petersburg, fl. This is the pinellas county court house, where I had to be in order to plea a case on weird crazy charges that had nothing to do with me. Upon walking out I rang my good friend for a ride home.

Her response was that she wouldn't be able to get a car till Noon, since she had a doctor's appointment. This was fine and understandable, and the small walk I had in mind would do me good. My assumed walking route would be a few miles till my friend could get out of her appointment, and it would be nice to take the glorious fresh air, and the sites of downtown St. Petersburg, Fl.

Ahhh...down town St. Petersburg Fl. The place where the first passenger plane was flown, the meeting place of the rich and famous and snow bird alike in the 20's. The people who called St. Pete a haven is a who's who of famous and not-so famous people. Some came to St. Petersburg, fl for the oranges, some for the sun, and others for the ambiance of the day. St. Petersburg was a hustling bustling hub of activity in the day, now it still hustles and bustles; but not full of tourists and the rich. like most of the world, the rich get bored easily and they are off to another part of the world. And the tourists, they're still around; they just busy themselves elsewhere most of the time, or close themselves up in the a/c.

The first steps were trekked past the monumental and historic....St. petersburg, Mirror Lake.....
