Fun in the Sun!

Saturday, March 12^th - Flea Market Trip

 

Some mornings, we are treated to very pretty sunrises.

 

 

 

After breakfast on Saturday, we all made a trip to the largest flea market in the area.

 

 

It was quite crowded as was to be expected since it is only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday during this season.

 

 

Besides regular shoppers, the aisles were clogged with people riding electric scooters, pushing walkers and using canes.

 

 

What I find hard to understand are the folks who bring their dogs with them to such a congested place. Not only are they pushing Fido around in a special dog buggy, they also have chest slings or tote bags which they use to carry them around. I realize that people can get very attached to their dogs, but I cannot understand why the pets are brought to such a crowded place where they don’t even get to run around.

 

 

Even though none of us really needed anything, we did find a few things to buy.

 

 

 

 

 

We returned to the condo for lunch and then made a quick trip to the neighborhood swimming pool and hot tub.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sunday, March 13th

 

My, how times flies when you are having fun! Our son, Andy and his family returned home to Southern Maryland today. It seems like it was just yesterday that they arrived to spend a week with us.

 

After we dropped them off at the airport midmorning, we spent a good part of the day looking for geocaches. We always see interesting things other than geocaches and today a dirigible flew over our heads.

 

 

We were caching in the Fort Myers/Bonita Springs area and spent some time visiting the Florida Gulf Coast University campus.

 

 

Since this was a Sunday, it was easier to find a place to park and we saw very few students walking around.

 

 

The campus has a nature trail.

 

 

We saw signs warning to be alert for alligators. We didn’t see any gators so they must have been taking a rest on this Sunday morning just like most of the student were.

 

 

 

 

So, now that we are alone again, Cordell is missing his drinking buddies.
