Weather has finally turned. Temps in the 70’s and 80’s, but windy and lots of rain.
On the way back from Lisa’s, checked out “Lion Country Safari”, a drive thru park with roaming African animals, looks like could be a full day adventure. Plan to schedule with Bill & Lisa. Checked out another RV park down the road about 20 miles towards Fort Myers called the “Glades”. That’s where Ron & Joanne are staying, the couple we met at the Elvis tribute show, and they invited us to stop by. Drove the park and got info. Lots of room, golf course on premise, a great grill, and looks like lots of activities. Stopped for a beer with Ron & Joanne. Invited them to stop by our place for happy hour prior to attending a comedy show with them at the Clewiston Inn. The dinner was great, the show “ok”, but poorly attended. Felt bad for the comedians.
Attended a large breakfast gathering at our park scheduled every Saturday am. Eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, beans, toast, coffee. Juice, fruit, all for $3.00. Can’t beat that. There were over 138 present, but Shari and I could not find anyone who spoke English. All French Canadians! Amazing here in Florida! New RV neighbors pulled in next to us. Helped park and quickly learned from Quebec, but they do speak broken English and are friendly.
Took a road trip over to Pompano Beach, windy with rain scheduled so thought we would take in the “Festival Flea Market Mall”. Huge indoor flea market type mall. Picked up a few small things, then went to the beach. Beach flags up for “rip currents” due to high winds. Warnings of man-of-war. Tough walking the beach. Some brave swimmers and surfers.
Been trying to walk daily. Some biking. Thirty minutes to the Okeechobee Levy, then on the scenic trail along the canal. The lake is still several miles out from the levy/canal. Lots of bird life and fishermen. The “Osprey” are nesting. They look like Eagles. Looked into a fishing charter, but they were honest with us and recommended we wait till weather warms up. Haven’t see any “gators” yet, but then it has been too cold.Weather finally turning warm, in the 80’s but very windy. Had a golf date with our friends over at the Glades RV park, but got there and all decided too windy and just had lunch. Another couple saw our Wisconsin plates and stopped by, turns out they are from Waupaca, so they joined us for lunch, Ted and Ann. Turns out we had some common aquaintance from the Weyauwega area, the Wagners, friends of the Galloways . Small world!
Took a road trip over to Fort Myer
Weekend back over to Palm Beach Gardens
End of Weeks 7 & 8
