Last night we went to the Downtown Eustis monthly cruise-in. We were going to take the '54 Buick, but it was uncooperative (fuel issue), so we ended up taking the '66 GTO.
The last time we had gone was a couple of months ago, and at that show the turn out didn't seem like much. This time, for one thing we were late, but even so, the place was loaded with people. I was quite surprised. Since we were late, we actually got a prime parking space right on the main strip. Our friend from Daytona went along with us, and we've also been starting to meet some of the local people.
We were able to walk around a bit and got a chance to see all the cars. When the show was over we headed out and had dinner at Gator's Dockside. It's a chain restaurant, but not something we have down in Miami, so it was new to us. The food was pretty good, and the service was excellent.
The thing I keep finding interesting is how in these (what I would call) small towns, everyone seems to know everyone else, and everybody is polite. Not something we're used to in Miami.
