We had a fabulous week in St.Petersburg, Florida. The weather was incredible - temps 75min - 90max degrees F with clear blue skies. This photo is on the Pier at Ft. DeSoto with the mouth of Tampa Bay in the background. The Skyway Bridge is in the background. This is as big as the gateway and allows the water traffic to enter Tampa Bay, a large port. We drove over the Skyway another day and visited the city of Sarasoto.Below is St.Pete Beach and a couple of snappy looking tourists.
Ahhh......a hard day at the beach.
There was much seafood to be had. Above was A Bucket of Seafood from Crabby Bill's which we enjoyed after we shared a dozen oysters on the shell. The bucket had Alaskan king crab, shrimp, mussels and clams. This was a great birthday celebration!
Here is the water-side view of the condo - the pool is between the water and the units - to the right where the white umbrella is. The water temperature in the pool was 31 degrees C. all day! It was wonderful - like bath water. The sea water was calm and we were taken out on this boat with a couple from the units we met by the pool. A retired USAF Colonel and his wife. This view is us berthing into the slip after our boat ride. We enjoyed a libation by the pool each afternoon for Happy Hour.
We visited The Pier at St. Petersburg - a long fishing and boat pier with restaurants and shops. The pier is surrounded on 3 sides by Tampa Bay, which is an enormous body of water.
We ate well all week! Here we are enjoying another seafood meal of Lobster, crab and shrimp. We also had Grouper - a local delicacy of white, sweet fish andTalapia - an Atlantic fish

Leisa,
Aggghh! All that dreadful seafood, like those dreadful biscuits your Mum makes.
We are so pleased to see that you are all having a wonderfully relaxed time, as you have all earned it. Keep up the good work.
Love AL and CC.
It is nice to see Mum and Dad relaxing and enjoying some rest. We are all having such a lovely time together. It will be hard to see them go.
Love Leisa
talk about relaxed! that shot of the 2 tourists snoozing on the sand is one of the best I've seen for ages.
I think it takes real talent to sleep sitting at a picnic table like that!
I was in the surf and came back up to the table to this fine view. I was giggling so much I was afraid I would wake the nappers....but every time I look at this shot I can't help but giggle.
This is a classic.
