After an interesting morning at the weekly market and wandering around the village of Rosemary Beach we continued with our "Sunday Drive" along the scenic highway 30A.
This is our first time in the Panhandle region of Florida; although several years ago we did look at visiting the area.
A bit odd especially when you search and scroll as many properties as we do, it is hard to remember one from the other.
We finally found a spot to stop for some lunch ... and my thoughts initially were "Are you serious, you want to eat here?"
The parking lot was full, the outside appeared "down market" and more like a local watering hole.
Once we entered we were pleasantly surprised to see many patrons enjoying delicious food and beverages, in a clean rustic setting.
Lesson learned "Don't judge a book by its cover".
We were seated at a window table with views of the highway ... as I looked out I saw a sign ...
"art30A" ...
After our lunch we checked out the property across the road and sure enough it was the same place we had looked at many years ago; the apartment was located above the owner's art studio.
Unfortunately it was not open today ...
What a pleasant surprise ...
Who would have thought you would see a place you had viewed many years ago on the Internet with limited info as to its location!
Often when we are searching for accommodation for our travels, we comment how it would be nice to know where the property is located and be able to see it ahead of time.
Now we use Google earth to get a visual impression of the area.
