Brenda arrived Orlando on Saturday...
Sunday we left for our Road Trip heading West toward Gulf.
First stop was Sarasota. Museums, clown stuff, good art stuff. We were headed for Naples next.
Met up with Allison and Steve. Had not seen Allison in years! They are back from Brazil and now settling in Naples. Fun people!
Monday was our field trip around Naples. Took the Trolley Tour. We were the only ones on it! Great. Had lunch at Turtle Cove on the beach. WONDERFUL!
Weather hot but still bearable. Talked with Cindi who just bought house nearby. Planned a visit after they get settled. Naples is New England all over...
Tuesday we drove across Alligator Alley - no alligators to be seen. Too hot for them. Smart gators.
Arrived Delray Beach at Bren's cousin Bobby's house. He is away and left the house for us to use. Met up with Susie and had dinner at Boston's - one of our all time favorites.
Wednesday, Thurs. - beach, galleries, eat, eat, visit with Susie and Glenn -
I left on Friday to come back home - Bren is there for the week and will eventually get to Melbourne and then back to Orlando. Plans are to see Harry Potter on Saturday.
For some reason, can't access the above photos to write descriptions:
Top: Ft. Lauderdale at night - The FLO, resto that Susie and Glenn took us to. Fab.
The Third Rainbow: really, there were two more but didn't get them in this shot.
Stained glass: Bren's house that she grew up in Mt. Tabor, NJ. She made this piece. Exquisite.
Inside trolley: the guy was in his glory telling us so much about Naples. He recommended the Turtle cove for lunch. It was great! Had oysters...
Last photo: I took this a couple of weeks ago and really liked it. It was at the Disney church (actually Mary of the universe shrine in Orlando)
Great trip. Will try to put more pix on here too!
