Just past Apalachicola

So we're not "past" but enjoying the precious downtown Apalachicola and their shipping history

Almost missed the Indian Pass Raw Bar as they were repainting the sign.

Just about the worst sign we could see... other than NO BEER.

The ladies found a way to make do.

You may not be able to see it, but in the back corner there's a stack of cups and a few taps where you pull your own beer. Nothing like it anywhere else in the U.S.A. Thank goodness for Floriday!

So waking up in Apalachicola was less than eventful but that's okay. Getting in late, the swim with the tree frogs was delightful. The mosquitoes we could have done without but that wasn't an option.

After packing up, we headed back into town to see the truly delightful downtown area and shrimpboats on the dock. Of course, the gelato shop sucked us in and might have been the best part of the day. Afterwards, we headed toward Cape San Blas by way of Indian Pass Raw Bar. Wendy spotted the sign to the raw bar before I did, thank goodness. We decided to head on down to the beach for a bit before lunch. Beach wasn't such a mindblower but we did find schools of small fish we could swim beside that was pretty fun. Beach overall wasn't our favorite but it was pretty nice.

The Indian Pass Raw Bar was our ultimate goal so we hit it for lunch. Unfortunately, we saw the painful sign of "NO OYSTERS" as soon as we arrived. The only thing that made it worth stopping was the "$2 draft" where you pull your own beer. If you look closely at the pic, in the back left corner there's a set of taps where you can pull your own beer. Never seen that before but I like the authentic element of the place. Corndogs and crab legs were the fare for the day.
