Florida

Donna and I had lunch in Jensen Beach and because of the roundabout way we found ourselves there, I needed the GPS’s help in getting us on the right track heading back to Sandy and Paul’s house. After a short time I knew where I was and how to get home, but left the GPS on anyway.

As we crossed the St Lucie River from Stuart into Palm City on the Monterey Road Bridge the GPS said take the first left onto Cornell Ave instead of the usual Mapp Road. What the heck, I took it. A couple of streets down along on Cornell Ave I could see how it was going to take us, but because we needed something at the store, after a couple more streets, I turned right on 34th Street to go over to Mapp Rd where the local Publix was.

34th was a residential street and there were some traffic calming tables that needed to be driven over. As I approached the second one I could see a small crab using the table as his own personal crosswalk. I slowed down to let him cross (and get the camera out), so he slowed to see if I was going to run him over. I stopped to take the crab’s picture. He noticed me not moving, so he finished crossing the road. I put the camera away and we both continued on our respective ways.
