The Sponge

These sponges range in price according to size and quality.



These Loofah sponges looked interesting, but alas - I live in an RV!

The cool dude with the backpack is Dave. We had a Gyro at the Parthenon.
 Tarpon Springs is a very interesting Greek town. Why a Greek town? - because experienced Greek divers were brought over to harvest increase the sponge industry.

We rode our bikes the eleven miles from Dunedin, Florida, on a great trail to Tarpon Springs and enjoyed the late afternoon and our Gyro prize.  If you find yourself on the Gulf near Dunedin, Florida visit Faith Lutheran; head up the road to Honeymoon Island, then Tarpon Springs.
