A FRIENDLY PLACE December 17, 2007

Apalachicola is the friendliest place I have ever been.  We met a man who was the owner of a store in which we were browsing and were discussing our fresh water pump problem and he called a marine store and told them our problem, and they had a replacement.  He then said if that did not work, he had a spare of the right size on his boat and would sell it to us.  He then gave us the keys to his SUV to go to the marine store.  In another case, we were looking for a wifi connection.  We asked at a hotel about hot spots for getting some work done and checking the weather.  The lady said use ours, and gave us the password.  The chef had to later come out to show me how to get an Apple on line with their wifi.      

 

The town, is known as the Oyster Capital of Florida, maybe even the world, and the seafood restaurants, are plentiful.  This quiet fishing town is changing itself to a quiet resort town.  With the attitude of the people, they should be successful.
