Thanksgiving Day at the Sponge Capitol

We spent Thanksgiving with the Greeks here in Tarpon Springs. Even on Thanksgiving day the shops were mostly open to sell you their wonderful greek food and also traditional Thanksgiving meals.
" This is a waterfront view of the boats used to harvest sponges out of the Gulf of Mexico. Divers go down anywhere from 20 to 100 feet to collect all varieties of sponges. I bought one of the wool sponges for my stocking person - extremely soft and will last for years.

These are sponges harvested right out of the Gulf over the past few weeks.

Now we head for Clearwater Beach.
