Day One..

I have a confession to make....This Blog isn't just about how to sell things on EBay while on the road. It's really about the road itself. The journey.... EBay is the catalyst, but I am the Driver.

August 20th 2012.
My first day on the road. I Kissed my boyfriend goodbye at 7am and headed out thru the Florida Everglades towards my first stop on the East Coast, St Augustine. The sun was just coming up, kissing the damp palm fronds and sea grass giving them a radiant sparkle. Around the bend in the road a low lying area was covered with a soft misty blanket. I was overcome with a peaceful feeling and have carried it with me all day.

As I headed further north, the interior of Florida's topography changed from flat swamp to rolling hills filled with Orange Groves. Hundreds and Hundreds of miles of beautiful Green Trees lined up in rows. Small young Trees planted alongside Great big ones filled with Fruit, Still green now, but it won't be long till the stands on sides of the roads will be bursting, selling orange everything. Orange Jellied Candies, Orange Hard Candies, Orange Lollypops. There is even a stand that sells Orange Ice Cream!!! Delicious!!!

I arrived in St Augustine at 1pm and found the Hostel (Casa Yahalla) without a hitch. But before I was even settled in, the afternoon rains started. It's now turned into the afternoon and evening rains. No worries......I had work to do. I got busy listing items to sell in my EBay store. My plan is to List everyday, ship everyday, shop everyday, and sight see. I am also trying to find the restaurant's Guy Fieri from the food network has highlighted on his Diners, Drive Inns and Dives show. Nothing in St Augustine, but I did find a little place off the beaten path.

 Thru the downpour I ran to a place called Flavor's. The restaurant is located in an old Mechanic's garage.  The usual items on the menu, soups, salads, pizza, and sandwiches. I chose a Pizza. Personal size. When the very nice waitress set my order down in front of me I was surprised by what I saw, and a bit skeptical. The Pizza was round, but there the similarities ended to all the other pizza's i had ever eaten in my life. But I couldn't deny the incredible aroma that was wafting thru the air. The ingredients were piled at least 3 inches high. Portobella's, Chicken, Spinach, Roasted Red Pepper, Sharp Cheeses, and there own special sauce. It was served with a Knife and Fork, so in I dug. The flavors were incredible. Fresh, Smokey, sharp, Sweet, Savory. The crust was a little hard to cut, Thank God. If there wasn't work involved, I would have inhaled it. I can't wait to go back tomorrow and try something else.

Anyway, I am tired, and ready for bed. I will post again tomorrow, and I promise more Photos. Sweet Dreams to everyone out there. I am living mine :)

I encourage your interaction, and I am happy to answer any questions.
Sincerely
Nancy
