We avoided the heat that day, determined to do some sightseeing the next day, while we were still “fresh”. Here, after 15 minutes outside, you are no longer “fresh” and most likely need another shower.
Monday morning: We fortified ourselves with a healthy breakfast. Cooking outdoors, senior style, means that we don't cook over a campfire, but have a toaster, electric skillet and electric griddle at work in our site. We are way past the stage of trying to work with charcoal and a fire!
Well, the day started off good….cool breeze and lots of sunshine. Can you see how happy we are?! All of us wanted to go to a beach and put our tootsies into the Gulf of Mexico. Yep, that was another one of the things on our bucket list. We headed to Marc0 Island and within 10 minutes ran into such hard rain that we pulled off the highway for a short time. It continued to rain/drizzle/pouring cats & dogs, repeating the cycle numerous times the whole afternoon. We gave up and went back to the RV park. Finally, after supper, Don & I ventured out during a lull and found a public beach by downtown Naples. He put the only quarter he had into the meter for 10 minutes of time and I rushed to take some pictures before it started to drizzle again.
Don called the other 4 and told them to hurry over to the beach. We could still cross one more thing off our to-do list! As you can see below, Sandy is giving her "V" for victory sign! No bathing suits you say? So what? We can still claim that we have been in the Gulf of Mexico waters.
Here is another view of the waders. I took these pictures with an umbrella in one hand and the camera in the other. What can I say? It worked!
Here we are, one bunch of goofy old grannies, having a great time! What’s next on our bucket list? Stay tuned to find out.
