Happy First Day of Spring!!! What a busy, sun & fun-filled day here in Crystal River. After breakfast, Tom and Mark launched Tom's "Craig Cat Boat" (had never seen one of these) and Mark and I took off on a 2-hour trip on the Crystal River meandering down the canals checking out the beautiful homes and also the Three Sisters Spring - one of many springs in the area - crystal clear water. Here we come back from our excursion - great fun driving/riding in this Craig Cat Boat. Catrina's new home on her stern
Enjoyed a 5-mile ride on a great bike path along the Cross Florida Greenways - here we are with the Gulf in thebackground (1/2 way mark of our 10-mile round trip.) After a short rest, we are at the Marguerita Grill in Homosassa which is a very patriotic place with American flags and other memorbilia and specializing in margaritas (BIG ones)

Here I am with the resident "Elephant" outside Marguerita Grill
And my delicious margarita (you can see how it compares in size to the mustard)! It was very good and I was not able to finish it all (small, medium, large - this was the medium for $5)
