Sarasota!

Yesterday we spent most of the day washing the motorhome. We have just been hanging around here at Paul and Dodies and have not been exploring the area. Today we left at about nine to see the Sarasota and St. Petersburg area. Paul marked up our map with a route he thought we might like and he was right, it was perfect for a day’s drive.

Here are some shots.

Time For Lunch

Our drive took us past Longboat Key and we decided it was time for lunch. We saw a sign pointing to the dockside Mar Vista pub and turned in. Our friends Muff and Val had a sailboat they docked in Sarasota for a few years and Muff always raved about the Grouper Sandwiches. Today they were on the menu and I ordered one. It was every bit as good as he raved about! You better come down and get one before they are all gone!

We had to fight a little traffic on the way home but got back to the motorhome well before dark. It was a great day!

  1. Hi Croft and Norma:
    I see people in t-shirts and bathing suits on the beach so things must be looking up. Last night we sat outside in sweats, vests and pants for happy hour and it was still frio....Still a cold Canadian north wind and lots of fog every morning.
