Monday September 5th 2016

Today was a No Labor Day. It was a beautiful day with low humidity and the high temperature in the mid 80s, but I stayed at home most of the day.

The day started slow and never really got going. I turned the TV on in the bedroom and stayed in bed until after 9AM. Then during breakfast I started reading Internet news and blogs. The noon news was on the TV before I finished my breakfast coffee.

This afternoon I went on a mission of discovery. I was looking for a park on a river. The area has plenty of rivers, but I didn’t find any parks. I did discover where the Zoo is located. It’s a possibility for another day.

I also discovered the cruise ship terminals for Jacksonville. A smaller carnival cruise ship was in port. The cruise terminal is located on the north side of the St Johns river. It seems to be in an industrial part of town far from the urban center, but it is near the interstate to the airport.

Another of today’s lazy activities was watching the changes in the RV park. The overnight and weekend campers left my mid day. Many of the longer term residents had taken their rigs out for the long weekend. They started to return early in the afternoon. Toward evening new overnight travelers started to arrive. One difference here is that most of the travelers are Florida residents not a diverse selection of travelers. This park is one of the first or last parks in Florida on Interstate 95 so I would expect to see rigs from all of the eastern states. Then again, smart travelers wouldn’t be here in the hottest part of the year.

Tomorrow is forecast to have similar weather, so I’ve got another chance to get motivated to enjoy it.
