Port St. Joe, FL

Yesterday was a weather day spent in port, with morning rain and a brisk north wind. We did some sightseeing and errand-running in the chill in lovely Port St. Joe (not Joseph), FL, population 3,300. Founded in 1835, the town averages only three feet above sea level, with its highest point at eight feet, and was a leading producer of salt for the Confederate Army during the Civil War. 

It was a relaxing day, as our cabin heater kept up with the falling temperatures outside, and we ventured out again for a hearty dinner at Quatro Locos Tacos & Cantina.
