Roller Rinks And Drive-In Movies

Today we went driving the back roads again.  This time we headed west, toward Tampa.  Our route took us through Plant City, Lakeland, Winter Haven and finally Tampa.

There are a lot of interesting things to see along the way taking the back roads.  In some places it's like being time warpped back into the 1950s or 1960s.  In one short stretch we went by a roller skating rink and a drive-in movie theater.  And the old motels, the ones with the little cabins are all over the place.

When we got to Tampa we found a great place for lunch.  Brocato's Sandwich Shop.


This is a great little restaurant.  It's pretty small, but they also do take-out orders.  They make fantastic cuban sandwiches and incredible devil crabs.  It was well worth the drive and we even brought home supper since neither of us could eat the whole sandwich!

More tomorrow...or the day after.
