We got back to Tampa,
picked up the pooch, and headed to Fort Pierce Florida, where we will spend the
rest of November. The pooch was beside himself when we picked him up – the Woman
snuggled with him for pretty much two days straight. We only picked Fort Pierce
because it was not about half way between Tampa and Flagler Beach, where we
will spend a couple of months over Christmas and the New Year.
Fort Pierce is a bit of
a sleeper, but its downtown area has a number of very art deco style buildings
that makes you think of the older parts of Fort Lauderdale. Apparently Fort Pierce
was booming back in the mid-1920’s at the height of the Florida real estate
boom. The locals nick name their town The Sunrise City, but since it is all
fogged in every morning, I don’t see how you could possibly tell
We did get a chance to hand
at the Grouper Square Tiki Bar and watch the Minnesota Vikings come back from a
20 – 0 halftime deficit against the Denver Broncos to grab another victory in a
very good year. Nick, Val and Karen met in Minneapolis and met Deanna, Jay,
Jenny and Jake to watch what started as an immense disappointment, and turned
out to be a fun game to watch – except for Miss Valerie, who is a diehard
Broncos fan.
The Woman did get a
chance to get a really good look at her favorite bird – the Little Blue Heron.
This guy chose the exact moment we were strolling along the channel to land and
show himself off. Nice!
Talk to you soon.
