What: Canoeing on the Hillsborough
Must-Do? Says Who? Ben Eason, CEO, Creative Loafing, Inc.
Casualties: $96 for two canoes; one (1) sunburned knee; and, predictably, a fire ant attack.
Notable Quotable: “But mom, how come he gets to pee off the bridge?"
We'd been showing Gino and Leslie a good time on the town, whisking them hither & thither from the Columbia to the Pier to Tropicana Field (see Fair is Foul and Foul is Sweet) and many/most of the bars in between. But as any city-dweller knows, before too long you get a yen for those wide open spaces, those big green places, where the water flows and the ibises roam. So on Sunday we took the highway to Thonotosassa in hopes that we might (as a friend once said) "get all in tune with nature and shit."
