Food? Whew! A stopover one night found Yours Truly and spouse versing with an acquaint-, who recently sold a short story entitled, The Onion, for $500.

You always make friends with at least one couple from the neighboring place, for they invite you to their pool pizza party, and you invite them to your pool's weiner roast! All on the house! But those $1 a day chaise lounges. And downtown business houses in Mount Dora needn't worry about the summer solstice. Many parade in the streets here, but Lincoln Rd. Mall seems almost ghostly.

Three-quarters of the stores are open hopefully each day, however. Oh yes, nearly forgot, you can take a one-day trip to Bimini in the Bahamas for $11.50 or $13.50 each the latter with chow!
