Vero Beach

• Since I was a little girl I can remember Indian River Oranges. Now I know where Indian River is and where those oranges came from. Vero Beach is a great stopover when heading north. It's an affluent resort town.
• We stayed at the municipal marina. The marina is in a park like setting and you can walk to the ocean front with dozens of restaurants. Every two hours a bus was available to drive you to town. The bus was free, but donations were accepted. We took the bus, we have found that the best way to see an area is to take local transportation. We needed some supplies from West Marine. At night we had a mile or so hike to Mulligans Restaurant and enjoyed our 1st Maine lobster. I didn't share, I ate the whole thing. The walk home was much needed.
• The next day there was a Walk for Life, Birthright. We walked the 5 miles and now have another tee-shirt.
