Sunday 2-13-2022 Siesta Key

Last night, the boys took the chicken and potato foil packages down to the grill behind the unit.  Cathie and I stayed to prepare the lemon sauce, green beans and slice some sour dough bread we purchased at the farmer's market.  We had a delicious meal with fresh pineapple and sliced strawberries for dessert - yum!  Cathie and I beat the pants off the boys last night so we are beginning our comeback.

It was raining this morning so I did laundry while Russ was running.  He cut short his 10 miles this morning as his shoes got soaked in the puddles.  The rain stopped around 10 so we drove down to Turtle Beach and then walked toward the point hoping to find some tortoises.  The closest we came was to find an active tortoise hole, but he was probably waiting for the sun to come out before showing himself.  We had a lovely walk on the beach and in the interior for a bit passing some blooming prickly pear cacti.  We  only turned around when we got to private property and a cute no trespassing sign (see pic).  We walked back and spotted several Nanday parakeets sitting on the phone wires in the parking lot and then came back to the unit for lunch.  Russ, Cathie and I went to sit poolside with our books, but the cloud cover made it quite chilly and then it started to rain again.  Russ and Cathie have gone out to fill the car for tomorrow and to poke around in some of the shops in the village.  We are having leftovers for dinner tonight - easy meal prep.
