Tarpon Springs


Yesterday Sam,Carolyn,Nancy and I once again went out to explore thr area.  We ended up in Tarpon Springs at the St. Nichilas Orthodox Church.
They will let visitors go in and look in the church.   It is a beautiful church that was build in 1943 with donations from the people in the community and mostly the sponge divers.  15 tons of marble was from the government of Greece at no charge except the shipping.
It has many  stained glass windows.
The large dome in the middle is beautifully painted.
As are several of the walls. It is very detailed in everyway.  The church is much larger than it looks to be from the outside.
From there we walked to the old Tarpon Springs Depot,which also had some very interesting history about the city.
Then it was time for dinner so we ended up eating at the Golden Corral Buffet.
