... so I decide to take the trolley (50 cents) down to the Pier while Peter and Brandy fiddle around on the boat. Lots of open air restaurants, tourists and bars -- all shapes, sizes and languages -- actually, I was a bit surprised by the diversity and all the activity ... (probably because I felt enclosed by the foggy days). Anyway, it was fun!
Notice how the Palms are yellowish from the record cold weather from 2 weeks ago -- mid 80's today!
This is looking North midway on the Pier. On the distant left hand horizon, you can see Sanibel Island with thick fog on Gulf Coast and sunny on the inside waterway. Left click on photos to view larger size ---
In the center of photo, you can see numerous boats at anchor doing the raft-up party thing. Parasailing, 'banana' boat rides and other water activities are available at the many beach concessions. There seemed to be a very "liberal" beach party policy -- a 3 day weekend was at full speed ahead!And yes, I went swimming twice despite the 60 degree water temp --
