Pine Island FL

It was a lovely day on Pine Island. We had our coffee outside overlooking the pond behind us. We watched a big turtle and an anhinga fishing for breakfast. We had some lunch and then went down to the little Museum of the Islands a few miles down the road. It is a small museum with some interesting items. It was only a $2 entrance fee, but they provided a tape recorder to follow some of the exhibits. I found the beaded tapestry portrait of George Washington to be the most interesting item. It had over 300,000 glass beads in it.

Bill bought a lottery ticket, and then we stopped at the local Dairy Queen to get a peanut buster parfait to share. On the way home we stopped at the Winn Dixie and CVS to pick up a few items. After Judge Judy we drove down to the little town of Saint James City for dinner again at The Waterfront restaurant. We sat out back on the porch overlooking a canal. I had the mahi sandwich again which was just as good as before. They marinate the fish in lime juice and sprinkle it was fresh basil before broiling it. Bill had an oyster poor boy. The food really is excellent for the price.

We drove around the little town which sits on many canals before heading back to the RV. Bill went down to play bingo in the clubhouse while I relaxed and worked on some photos. It is going to be cooler tomorrow, so we may take the Corkscrew Swamp Trail.
