We arrived here on Christmas eve and the first night of Hanukkah. It was a balmy 80 degrees. We can live with that. I do want to back up a day though. The day before, we went to Cape Canaveral to have dinner at one of our favorite places, the Euro Kafe. They specialize in German and eastern European cuisines with an occasional Portuguese dish offered as well.

We ordered our favorite appetizer: potato pancakes. These are awesome and come with both applesauce and sour cream. Yummy! I had their hungarian goulash with homemade spaetzel and the beef was so tender and flavorful.
Ken had their salmon special, which also come with spaetzel and barrel aged saurkraut. His dunkel beer was special, too. Dessert was not to be missed. Their chocolate moose dollop had my name on it, and Ken was in heaven with their homemade apple streudel which he said rivaled his aunt Deb’s. All in all, it was a great way to bid farewell to this area before we travel on.

The drive to Ft. Pierce was about an hour and a half. The sites here are wooded, at least where we are located. This is a smaller park of “only” 458 sites, some of which are cabins and are nestled together closer. Fortunately, it’s very quiet here. We do have a picnic table!

We drove into the historic downtown district today, but nearly everything was closed due to it being the national holiday of Christmas. Nevertheless, it was a beautiful day and a great one for taking photos! Ft. Pierce is nicknamed the “Sunrise City”.
