Sunday Dec 11 country ride.

My daughter, Evelyn, and I went for a nice little country ride this afternoon and ended up for lunch in Mount Dora at Jeramiah's. After lunch we went looking for the old steam engine and found it in Tavares, but no good photo angles or places to park. So we continued on and found this in a vacant lot.

Continuing on along Lake Dora, we stopped at the old hotel for a photo.

Some of the majestic beauty that can be found in Florida in December. 

I let Evelyn drive home from here.

Today, I took my daughter, Evelyn, for a country ride via back roads to Mount Dora for lunch at Jeramiah's. Nice warm day for riding in the XK120 open two seater.
