Christmas Day, Dec 25, 2011

We left around 10:30 AM from our home and started driving in I-10 East and after about 90 miles we stopped for the rest stop and soon joined the I-75 South and drove via Gainesville and Ocala. We decided to skip the Orlando Turnpike and instead drove through Leesberg and Apopka to reach Orange Blossom Drive in Orlando.


On the way stopped just past Leesburg for lunch. Since we were traveling during Christmas day most of the restaurants were closed and only very few fast-food places were open. One among them was Burger King chain. Vivek had some lunch and we ate what we brought from home.

Then around 3:45 PM we arrived at the Hindu Society of Central Florida temple in Lake Drive in Casselberry, Florida. There was very little crowd which was good. We offered a simple pooja and offered donations to the temple. We spent about an hour at the temple and went to the temple canteen. Since they were closing at 5 PM they had only vadai and coffeee. We took some pictures of the temple and left for Orlando.

While driving on I-4 West on our way to the hotel, VTS spotted the Ferrari and Maserati of Central Florida dealership. We got out of I-4 West at Exit 88 on Lees Road. With a help of a nearby homeowner we were to locate the dealership. Since it was Christmas Day it was closed. We looked around the parking and headed to our hotel. 

We checked into the Hotel by 6:30 PM and had dinner by 7:20 PM. We watched some TV and went to bed by 9:00 PM

I visited the Hindu Society of Central Florida's Hindu Temple of Orlando at Casselberry, Florida on Lake Drive. While driving past the intersection of I-4 and Semoran Boulevard East (also known as State Road 436; SR 436) toward University of Central Florida, I realized I was very close to the Hindu Temple of Central Florida (Orlando). I quickly called the Temple from side of the road and was able to reach there quickly (took a left at US 17/92 North going toward Sanford; then took a right at Seminola Boulevard; Seminola Boulevard becomes Lake Drive and the temple is on the right hand side at 1994 Lake Drive). While driving on Seminola Drive you will see Lake Drive by the side of the Circle-K, you can take this diversion or keep driving on Seminola Boulevard. If you took the diversion at Lake Drive you will eventually join the larger Lake Drive later (two way divided high-way).
