Friday evening "Valentine's" dinner out

On Friday evening, we joined some of the other folks who are also volunteering at the camp for a buffet dinner at the historic Jacaranda Hotel (https://www.hoteljac.com/) in Avon Park, Florida.

One of the three tables that our group was occupying at the restaurant.

Since it was Friday, there was a seafood buffet, with fried shrimp, oysters, and scallops as well as baked fish and fried chicken - and good vegetable options and a salad bar...

... and desserts!!!

... fireplace and entry to the dining room...

... grand piano and additional seating areas in the lobby. To the right in the picture is the elevator - it has to be operated by a member of the hotel staff as it is a manually operated elevator.

The hotel has 31 rooms, of which they only reserve 30 just in case a problem occurs and someone has to be relocated to a new room.

It was nice going out and getting to know some of the other folks who are working at the camp!
