While walking in Seminole Park today, I was surprised by something I never expected. While walking in Florida's Parks I have see squirrels, rabbits, a snake, raccoons, and turtles. I've even seen crocodiles, turkeys and wild hogs.

Today I was astonished to see an ice cream truck driving around the trail. This was a huge surprise since motor vehicles aren't permitted. The air was filled with the calliope music from the movie "The Sting". When I turned to look in the direction of the sound, there was an ice cream truck. When it would pass a walker, jogger, runner, biker or roller blader, the driver would ask if they wanted an ice cream. I didn't see anyone make a purchase. Even if they wanted one of his refreshing cold treats no one was going to get one, not now while they were exercising.


Once he reached where the trail met the street he stuck his arm out the window and waved good-bye as he drove away. It was one of the strangest things I have ever seen.
