As my spring break comes to a close, I thought I would write a post about one of my adventures this week. My mother and I decided to take a drive to spend the day in the Sponge Docks in Tarpon Springs, Florida. The town of Tarpon Springs was built around the sponge docks. Many Greek sponge divers came to Tarpon Springs, and today the town still has a strong Greek influence. While visiting Tarpon Springs you can sample Greek cuisine from one of the many Greek restaurants, purchase sponges and souvineers, visit the aquarium or the museum, or take a tour of the sponge docks.

We had a lot of fun shopping and walking around. One shop had homemade soaps made with goat milk, olive oil, and all-natural ingredients. The soaps came in a variety of scents. I chose oatmeal honey, sugared citrus, sandlewood, and blackberry vanilla. If you would like to check out their soaps and other products, you can visit their website, here. I also got two new necklaces, two sets of bracelets, and a pair of earrings that match one of the necklaces.
All in all, it was a great day! If you would like to find out more about Tarpon Springs, click here.

ReplyDeleteLooks like so much fun! I'm not a huge fan of Greek food, but I do love outdoor stuff. I think I'll add this to my list of Florida things to do!
ReplyDeleteLooks like this was such a fun trip! Even though I've lived in Florida my whole life, I've never been to Tarpon Springs. I'll definitely have to check this out!
