Daytona Beach, Florida (11/17)

On our way from St. Augustine (which we liked a lot!) to Orlando, we drove south along the coast, and stopped in Daytona Beach.

The beach was wide, and clean, with white sand packed as hard as concrete. The original Daytona car races were held ON the beach. The water was cool, but certainly swimmable, and the surfers were out in force. Air: 80 degrees.  Water: 74 degrees.  Nice swell.

Of course we had to seek out the International Speedway.  We could hear high-powered cars racing around inside the track, but couldn't find a way to actually see inside.  Bonus: there was an RV show taking place in the parking lot...so we browsed through a few of what I refer to as "behemoths" ....motor homes that are 40+ feet long.  At the end of the day, we love our little Irv.
