Near the end of October 2013, we embarked on a long drive from Canada down to willie’s hometown of New Orleans, Louisiana. After finding Wasaga Beach, Ontario, Canada completely empty on a very cold, blustery day, we quickly decided it was time to head south.

Sponge Harvesting Tarpon Springs

Towards the end of 2011 we visited Tarpon Springs, Florida. Oddly enough, this city is known for its history as a sponge harvesting community. In the late 1880s a group of Greeks settled in the area and in 1905 they found that there was an abundance of sponges to be…
