The next morning, I left this open
and took in some salt water
but the outside view
drew me away from the art in the house
and Suzanne and I headed to the dock for the obligatory phone booth picture
and a visit to the local newspaper
before starting our walk past the neighbor's dog
and up the hill

as we turned and walked past the barrel cactus
to Pam's driveway (with for sale sign)
and saw her house from below
as we continued our walk towards Flamingo Bay
past the local recycling station
until we got to the beach at Flamingo
and Suzanne continued her quest for sea glass
as the water came in.
Walking further we came upon a rooster in the distance (not clear why the picture looks like the rooster was under water)
and made our way past Mermaid Manor
with beautiful flowers
before catching views of Pam's house on our way back
and continued our walk
as Suzanne made her way
until we were back at the house
watching the boats come in.
This was our first real day on the beach and we discovered the dock where Peter remained either before or after the lady from Oklahoma
as Suzanne and Seva explored the waters
before Seva saw Peter off for snorkeling
as Suzanne read
and Peter and Seva returned
as Peter
Steven
and Sara
watched as Heidi served
Suzanne and Seva prepared for sea glass exploration
and I read my book
as Peter did the snorkel thing
passing the dock on his way.
Seva and Suzanne wandered in search of sea glass
as the nuts appeared
and the girls in front of us took some photos
and the dock stood
as the obstruction moved
so that I could see the incoming dinghy
as Sara
and Steven
returned with this sandwich for me among other things
and I admired the sky
as Peter returned stopping for a chat
before making his way to our table
and eventually getting a drink
before good friend Stuart from the bushy eye brows club appeared to (I suppose) brighten our day.
As Suzanne and Seva continued the sea glass exploration
and Sara read her book,
we realized it was time to go home so that Suzanne
and I could wash our feet
and I could take this self portrait knowing that I would need the cure
and Suzanne and Seva made their way into the hot tub
as Peter tried to understand the controls (a feat we never fully achieved).
The boat with 50 couples prepared for evening
as I ventured to get a photo of the moon rising

as we noted our pineapple rum (a life changing substance)
and Seva made her fashion statement by dressing in the most modern of fashion (later confirmed with Jane).
Thus we were all ready for dinner at Heidi's where this picture represents the effects of the rum we had had during pre-gaming
and the wine
didn't show until the lights were on
but Steven
Sara
Seva
Suzanne
Peter
and I
enjoyed our meals of fish
meat
and pasta
until the moon was fully risen
and the snorkelers of the next day finished their trial run.
