Going for the Warm-- Part 4-- Port St. Joe, Mexico Beach, Donovan's and the Lodge

Drove and drove a really long way east and then south to Port St. Joe, Florida's Constitutional City (something about it being made there) and played NTN at the Thirsty Goat which is part of an old Beach hotel dating back to around 1900.

Then went to nearby Mexico Beach and played at Mango Marley's, a Beach Bar in every sense of the word from the logo "Floribbean Food, Fun and Rum", picnic table seating and bar.

We'd considered staying in Mexico Beach, but found no motels within walking distance. Drove back to Panama City Beach and checked out a bar we'd seen called Donovan's Reef (same name of the place back home that we hang out at) and found it to be a locals type place, AND, there were three motels right across the street, two of which were mom and pop, two story places right by the water.

Got a room at the first place we stopped, the Driftwood Lodge. We are right off the beach in what they call cabana rooms. Not bad for $60 a night plus tax. Then, it dropped to $55 Sunday.
