Saturday, March 28th, Taking the Jolly Trolley to Tarpon Springs
Tarpon Springs is a city in Pinellas County, Florida, United States. Tarpon Springs has the highest percentage of Greek Americans of any city in the US. Downtown Tarpon Springs has long been a focal point and, from what we could tell, has changed dramatically over the last years. It is also one of the places that people end their crossing of the Gulf of Mexico. (We ended our journey in Clearwater Beach).
The Jolley Trolley requires exact change, so we raided our change collection, and headed down the road to catch the Jolley Trolley.

We wandered the streets downtown, and had lunch at a Greek restaurant (what else?) and watched the tourist boats, shrimp boats and sponge boats ply their trade.

We headed back to catch the trolley home and considered it a day well spent.
