Apr 17, 18, 19, 20


Four more sleeps until we head north to the "cooler" country. Sitting here looking at the blue water and white sand and hoping for us and everybody else that we will see blue water and reddish sand (not white snow) when we get home. Checking out the home page of Amherst and see some sun and warm temps in the days to come. Looking up!!! We have settled into a routine - a good routine - hour walk in the morning, breakfast, coffee, papers and news, some beach time, swim in the ocean. Have been doing a bit of shopping and we had a ball at one store shopping for the kids. I really think Bernie was having the most fun. He also found his sandals he wanted but I did not find my wedding outfit yet. Still lots of time. :-)
Saturday morning we headed to downtown St. Pete's and found the huge art show on the waterfront. There were 150 artists and what a variety of work. Some were gorgeous and others had you shaking your head wondering where they were coming from. Saturday was the day we said good bye to friends heading back to Amherst and welcoming some that arrived for the week. It is just like a revolving door on the beach. Evenings have been filled with barbecues, trying new restaurants, eating at friends home's, card games, word games and an occasional hockey game on TV and of course listening to the surf. It never lets up and is a great way to go to sleep. Only a few more days and the sound will be gone and will have to wait until we get to the cottage.
One thing we have missed this year is the pelicans. They must have moved to a different beach as they are not around to put on their diving shows each evening.
