When you get a chance, try their sandwiches. They make them to order
while you watch. When we are in Florida, we stop there in the morning
and get a couple of sandwiches and head to the beach. Excellent!

You are right about the prices. I would have liked to move to Florida
but the cost of living is crazy. Nice place to visit... but I can't
afford to live there.
