Port Charlotte and Venice

We spent some time poking around in the above two towns today. The day was sunny and very warm reaching 29 degrees. We would have been baked on the beach.

In the Town Center Shopping Mall in Port Charlotte I heard some Québecois being spoken which was interesting. I have never been in a big Mall as sparsely populated as this one. All that space and it was almost like a ghost town.

On the way to Venice, while stopped at a light, a driver beside us called out, "So where's the nearest Tim Horton's, ay?" He saw our license and decided to joke with us about our country of origin. I believe he meant well so I did not take his license plate number and report him to CSIS.

We arrived back after sundown with a full moon gracing the ... um ... cloudless sky. A message on Skype from Robin and Anna was waiting advising us they expect to arrive here by tomorrow evening. Much looking forward to that. Soon we'll be hearing the pitter-patter of little feet. Not-so-little feet too.

Our condo and the full moon ...
