Laidback Saturday

A walk on the beach topped off my perfect afternoon. We would usually have gone to Mass, but this narrow peninsula was simply too busy to go even a couple of miles. Drinks on the deck and a pick-up supper were a good choice for this warm evening.

Downtown Cocoa

I'm always happy to "get up and go". Yesterday, we decided on a little side trip to the old City of Cocoa, which didn't seem so old after our recent experience in St. Augustine. We didn't stay long and opted for lunch back in Port Canaveral at the familiar Grill's. By the time we got there, traffic was backed up with passengers heading for one of the cruise terminals and we stayed only long enough for lunch. We stopped at Publix to get provisions for dinner at home, knowing there would be more congestion near the Seafood Festival.

Surfing on Saturday afternoon

I went for a swim in the nearly empty pool. It's a great pool because, in the 1960s style of pool construction, it is quite deep(over 8 feet at the deep end; nearly 4 feet at the shallow end) -- built to accommodate a diving board, long gone from this and similar pools. It's the kind of pool that used to make me frown (almost!) since it was over the heads of little a non-swimmers. A lot of the older guests here seem to have limited swimming skills as well, so that leaves a lot of space for people like me.
