Days 45 & 46 -West Palm Beach to Clearwater, Florida (247 Miles, 8408 Total)

I am currently crouched in the corner of a hotel room that claims to have wireless Internet. Apparently that only covers this inch of carpet that I am currently balanced on. Still, never let it be said I would let such a thing get in the way of my reporting from the front line.

Over the last few days we have experienced some more of Palm beach's lovely hospitality and then rolled on up the Florida coast (and across a bit) to Clearwater, Tampa. Our last full day in West Palm allowed us to take in some more beaches, and then Anna and I went to see a show at the theatre we're performing in, entitled "Dixie's Tupperware Party!" which was basically a very funny drag act with the opportunity to buy Tupperware. It has to be said, never before had I realised how much of a miracle Tupperware is. I came out of the show, not only entertained, but with a serious desire to buy some Tupperware. As for Dixie, the act is brilliant as she/he really does sell Tupperware and really loves it. He/She's the second top salesperson in the U.S and seems to have carved a niche in turning a standard form of selling Tupperware into an off-Broadway touring show (as well as coming up with some fairly disgusting thigs you can do with Tupperware)- genius.

Well now we're in Clearwater, and the weather is still warm but on the turn and a there are a few storms brewing. Last night we sampled the food at a place called "The Tilted Kilt". Now if all Scotsmen wore there kilts the way the ladies in the Tilted Kilt do then there wouldn't be much left to the imagination.

Sorry no pictures, but the lack of internet is creeping toward my inch of carpet as we speak. Off to see some Gators now
