FOOD TRUCKS IN TARPON SPRINGS ~ ALONG WITH HIPPIE FEST

We went to Tarpon Springs ~ never there before.  It's a great town, that we will return to sometime.  Our purpose was to participate in Hippie Fest and Food Truck Rally.  
The Food Trucks were downtown, right on the main drag.  We arrived as they were setting up.  Never having been to a food truck rally before we just strolled down the street to see what the offerings would be.  

Bayou Bistro ~ very tasty sliders here!
I need to learn how to make the sauce they put on my sliders ~ YUMMO!
I also went to get a cupcake from the truck that looked very "sweet" on our walk when we first arrived.  It was early and there was only ONE cupcake left!  Now, just who would bring a cupcake truck and not enough cupcakes?!  They did sell me (yes, it should've been free) the last cupcake for 1/2 price.  It was delicious and maybe they learned a lesson about how people love cupcakes!  

Where Joe bought his tasty Italian sandwich. 
Not even a truck, it's a cart - as the ones we 
ate at all over Mexico.  How did it get in line
with all the trucks?  How could they refuse it?   
These carts were the first mobile eateries!  

For some reason I can not move the pictures around as I usually do.  Guess Blogger has changed and I need to learn the new way to move the pics.  Oh well, the food trucks were fun.  The Hippie Fest ~ well, a few VW's were on display and a band was playing the "Oldies."  Surely expected more of something advertised as Hippie Fest.  

Joe, visiting his first truck/not really food/but it was 
very warm and he was thirsty.

Another one of the trucks--there were about a dozen total, each
with their own unique offerings.  

AT THE SPONGEDOCKS IN TARPON SPRINGS THE VW'S WERE FEATURED.  THIS IS A SMALL SAMPLING OF A FEW, TO ME, INTERESTING ONES. 

Nice van ~ the inside actually had hardwood flooring.  

Same color!  I had this VW Rabbit when
I moved to California 31 years ago!
Loved it then - many memories flooded
back when I saw it.  One being - Michelle
had a talking doll when we left WI for CA.
The batteries 'disappeared' 1/2 way there,
the doll mysteriously stopped talking.
It's a long ride to CA!

Several bugs fixed up and lined up. 

Well, Hello Blog!  It's been awhile since I have visited you.  Why haven't I been here?  Hmmm... good question.  
Living life, I guess. 

It has been creeping up in the back of my mind-write on the blog, put pictures on the blog, keep up this cyberspace diary.
So, here I am Blog, starting again.  Life is just one start after another.  Always learning~always starting again~one adventure after another~no matter how small or insignificant they seem.    
Chico, Michelle's outdoor cat, is in this picture.
He learned how to climb trees while I was in MO, for 2 weeks, this summer.  He also learned, while Michelle panicked a little, how to climb down and get out of the trees. 
He also learned how to track down and kill his prey, while we watched, in horror!  Chico is an outdoor "mouser" ~ objective accomplished!  Even though it was a young bird and not a mouse.  
 Hunting is hunting and Chico learned fast!
