Dear Karen, There's a pretty good flea market in Daytona (Fri., Sat., Sun.) at the intersection of I-95 and US 92. Go to the food lanes....westernmost aisle. There are some hot sauce stands and lots of fresh chiles. Also: Farmer's Markets on Weds. e. of DeLand, at the Fair Grounds; and at City Island (Daytona) on Sat. am. A number of good (not great) Mexican restaurants here: Rio Bravo on Rt. 92 and Mexican Connexion (sic) in New Smyrna Beach. Best selection of hot sauces is in Mr. Dunderbek's Deli (Volusia Mall). Randy bought them out a few months ago, but they probably have replenished their stock! My favorite Indian Restaurant is the Clay Oven on Rt. 17-92 in Longwood...that's south of DeLand and Sanford. The Ponce Inlet Lighthouse is open....very historic and picturesque. You'll walk your tush off climbing it! Perhaps that's the lighthouse you mean, although there is a lighthouse in St. Augustine too. Call me while you are in Daytona; 904-788-7258 Cocoa is about 160-170 miles from Jax. Have a nice trip!
