Last one and few odd notes about our road trip

The last part of the exhibits are dedicated to the Korean War and Vietnam. They also have a very moving display POW Table. I did not photograph this because each item on the table symbolized something associated with POW's and MIAs.

We left the museum, Tom still telling me about the various displays and his experiences. We then decided to take the drive down to Clearwater Beach along the Gulf. This was a weird experience after our stay at Fort Myers Beach. This area is very residential not touristy. We drove over 20 miles looking for a restaurant and not finding anything until we were at Clearwater Beach.  We did find Frenchy's Rockaway Grill on the Beach where I finally tried a Grouper Reuben  They really are not bad though not Reuben tasting at all. We went back to the boat and later that evening went to see the new Star Trek movie  at an IMAX.

Car went back on Friday and we are waiting for a weather window to continue on. Think we will enjoy another meal at the Hellas Restaurant this afternoon.
