After three weeks of work, Steve announced we were taking a day off (whew, yippee, wahoo!!!)! Somebody said this not working stuff was slow, boring and tedious. Ha, not with my guy! We haven't stopped since we arrived here. And, actually, even our days off are busy!First thing (after breakfast, of course!) we went to downtown to St. Petersburg to check out the Farmers Market. After buying from Walmart we are desperately in need of veg that tastes like - well, veg - instead of insipid, bland, boring, picked too early stuff masquarading as veg! I want tomatoes that are red, not pink or peach, ripe and luscious. We didn't realise how spoiled we were buying from the farmers' market in Blackburn, what a difference in the taste of food. (Oh yeah, and I want cheese, real cheese - sharp, pungent, melt in your mouth French cheese - the kind which fails all US health inspections!)
After running various errands all over the county, then we went to GATORS for lunch! One of my favourites for seafood, sun and people watching. We lucked out and ended up with a waterfront table where we could watch the boats pulling up and the sailboats coming in and out of the pass. The famous smoked fish spread to start and chicken wings to finish - lovely!
Then we had a nap, then we went grocery (and boat stuff) shopping, then we had dinner (at 10:00)!
