              On January 20 and 21, I participated 
                in the Space Coast Seashell Festival, a very nice shell show with 
                many beautiful displays. It was good to see some old friends and 
                meet new ones during the show, which was very well organized by 
                Jim and Bobbi Cordy and other members of the Astronaut Shell Club. 
                
              Melbourne is a beautiful place, 
                although I did not get to do much sightseeing due to time limitations. 
                My flight from Sao Paulo arrived in Miami on Friday morning and 
                the drive to Melbourne took about 3 hours. Several door prizes 
                were given to visitors who came specially for the show or simply 
                to admire great exhibits.
