Yesterday afternoon we took a short walk at Rotary Park.  There was not too much to see: one ibis, one turtle, and two ducks, but we did enjoy the walk and they had a butterfly garden at the end!  We took Russ and Cathie to Rumrunners for dinner.  Everyone enjoyed it - we will have the leftovers tonight.  We played another round of hand and foot and the boys clean our clock again!!!  We will play a revenge match tonight - it is definitely our (the girls) turn to win.

We went to the beach this morning.  It was a beautiful morning.  We found a thatched hut that Dave  and Cathie could sit under to stay out of the sun.  Russ and I sat in lounge chairs.  Today was our last chance for some sun.  We stayed until noon - everyone had lunch there, but I opted to wait until we got back as I wasn't super hungry (I had made French toast for breakfast).  We came back and did laundry, packed up our suitcases, cleaned out the fridge (I gave some things to our neighbors, and sat on the back patio chatting with Mike and Molly.  When Dave got up from his nap, we went to a park north of us.  It was a bit of a bust except that we did see a couple of manatee backs and tails - they never did pick their heads up out of the water.  We then found another park, but it was more of a boat launch.  We will drop Russ and Cathie off at the airport on our way north to Charleston, SC tomorrow morning.

 
So today's pics are of the ibis, an unknown duck, a monarch butterfly, and a pair of them mating from yesterday's walk.  Two shots of a painted bench from today, a manatee back, an unknown flower, and a brown pelican.
