Fun in the Sun

The beach is very wide and quite hard -- hard enough to ride our bikes on. We put in about 10 miles round trip. Did you know that sand is very hard to pedal thru? We got a real work out. So, of course, we have to rest and lay out on the beach and soak up the rays! It is actually very nice out on Wednesday and Thursday and Friday and . . .DSCF1769

Since we are this close to fresh seafood we ride our bikes over the bridge back to the mainland and to the shrimping docks where there are several places selling fresh shrimp and scallops. Oh, they are so good! Wednesday afternoon we drive over to Sanibel to visit our friends Rick and Libet. They take us out to the end of Captiva where we watch the sun set into the gulf and then have a scrumptious seafood dinner. On Friday we ride our bikes to "Heavenly Biscuit" for breakfast and meet Rick and Libet for lunch after which we go kayaking in the bay. For supper we ate at the Blu Sushi & Martini Bar. Had a great evening!
