Wed 7.23 St.Pete/Bradenton Shopping





Saw 5 boats today. (have 5 scheduled for tomorrow) things are going better. i may have this figured out - "how" to shop. I drove down from Tampa to St. Petersburg to the marina - downtown. Lovely city! i was also impressed with Bradenton. these two are cutest, cleanest, nicest seaport towns i've seen in Florida. (like; 'i could live here' kinda places)

After St. Pete i drove over the bridge to Bradenton and LUNCH. Grouper Filet, with Sweet potatoe fries and Crab Soup. WOW!!! ($22) (didnt know 'how' to eat the crab claws. picked them up with my fingers - out of the bowl)

it was a great shopping day. now i'm in Port Charlotte for my 9am meeting. Thursday i shop then drive down to Marathon. (~100 miles south of Miami in the keys)

still having fun. gotta run now for dinner somewhere here near the hotel.

Wed 7.23 Tampa Shopping

Breakfast Peach. ahhhhhhhhh yummy! (this peach is from a little store in Bayou La Batre, AL.) i've been saving this little beauty till it got to the perfect-sweetest-ripeness. So, this morning in the rain seems like the time to enjoy it. a cool gentle rain will help cool off the boats and make for a great day of shopping... yippeeeee!!!


HERE I GO!
