What a perfect Florida day - the sun is shining with a slight breeze - definitely shorts weather! We went down the turnpike for a few exits and got off at Sample Road to go to a huge indoor flea market. They sold just about everything you can imagine in there and it is so large that the wide aisles have names just like street signs so you don't get lost. We didn't buy much, but had a good time looking. We came back to the condo and had lunch. While Larry took a nap, Dave and I went back to Festival (the local flea market) and had another look around. We stopped at the local supermarket on the way back and picked up a few items for when we travel on Saturday and some bananas for Larry and Sandy. We went out for dinner at a Chinese restaurant - great food and great service. We were joined by Sandy's sister, Jean, and a couple that are friends of both Jean and the Levine's. After dinner, we went back to Jean's for coffee, tea and dessert. Jean has a lovely apartment very close to where Larry and Sandy are. She lives in a high-rise right on a golf course - large eat-in kitchen, living room with dining area, large bedroom and a den where she has her computer and a pull-out sofa for guests. We chatted and had a good time while enjoying fruit, carrot cake and brownies (not all of course as we were stuffed). We are going to another nature preserve tomorrow and then we will have to pack the car in the afternoon.
