We got on the road after breakfast this morning and headed down 95 to Delray Beach. The weather is wonderful - today was the first time that we were even tempted to put shorts on for the day. We couldn't believe how huge Palm Beach was as we drove by - it is so much bigger than Tallahassee! We followed Sandy's directions and then called when we got close. They met us in the parking lot and showed us where to park. This is a huge senior complex and we passed many of them coming into town. Sandy said the capacity of the complex is 18,000! This is the size of the town of Thomasville, GA that we visited last week and greater than the population of Waterford, CT! It was so good to see them. They look great and their apartment is lovely: kitchen, small dining area, large living room, 2 bedrooms and 2 baths as well as a screened in porch with a laundry room attached. We had lunch and then Dave and I took a walk around part of the complex while Larry took a nap. We found one of the country clubs: large golf course and pool and then made our way back. We sat around and chatted for a while until dinner. We had some good laughs. Sandy had gotten a barbecued chicken and potato knishes at Publix and we made Chinese cabbage salad. It was delicious. After dinner we played three games of pinochle - the boys won (boo-hoo) - we'll whup them tomorrow. We chatted a bit more and then hit the sack. It is supposed to rain tomorrow so we may go to see a movie.
