I never thought I would enjoy hot
chocolate in Fort Myers, but it tasted quite good this morning. Seeing green
grass and flowers makes 50° seem a lot colder to me.
We received a video message from my
granddaughter, Janelle, which shows that it was snowing in Maryland this
morning. I really couldn’t complain about being cold after I saw that video. It
was a good reminder of the reason we like to be here during this time of the
year. But, I sure would like it to be twenty degrees warmer!
During our adventures out
today, we stopped at a Goodwill Store. I was hoping to find a light weight vest
because I don’t like wearing my winter fleece one in Florida. This store had no
vests and only a few light weight jackets for sale. I saw people dressed in
various weights of clothing today. I wore a long sleeved shirt, long pants and
either a vest or a wind breaker. Other people were similarly dressed, but I did
see some people wearing shorts and sweatshirts.
We drove by an interesting
club. Almost all of the developments that I have seen are golf and country
clubs or tennis clubs. But this one was a bath and tennis club.
Our travels took us to several
shopping areas. We drove past a movie theater and I saw people in the parking
lot waiting in a long line to get into the early matinee. It was different from
what we see at home in that most all I could see were grey heads!
We had a nice lunch at The
Outback and then took a 1 ½ mile round trip walk looking for a few more urban
geocaches. Birds frequently are seen in populated areas. White ibises are
always walking around in our neighborhood and crossing the streets. Today we
saw a great egret and a wood stork along our way. Both of them are not as brave
as the ibises and they moved away from us.
At one geocache site, we saw
a palm tree or shrub growing out of a storm drain pipe. It must not get too wet
for that plant.
I think that was a FAKE palm in the storm drain! There was a cache attached to the bottom of it! ;)
