A Visit with friends

It’s been a very busy month and I have been completely remiss in blogging about life in Florida. Valentine’s Day came and went. I did get some pretty roses.

Our friends, Sandy and Scott, arrived on the 17th and it’s been a whirlwind ever since.

We have so many neat places to walk here so almost every day we were out walking. Our first walk outside our neighborhood was to Wadokahatchee.

We did get to see a few alligators there as well.

After Wadokahatchee we went to Loxahatchee National Preserve. I wanted to show them the owl nesting but it was all taped off. Apparently someone used a laser pointer and ruined it for all those who were considerate to the wildlife. In another area however, there was another nesting owl. It was from a great distance. I really need that 600 lens.

We had a lovely dinner out at Deck 84 and a walk on Atlantic Avenue. Bruce and Scott’s fish dinner was great. Sandy and I had a steak which was not worth the $32 it cost. She ordered her steak medium and it was as rare as mine. I like mine bloody.

No alligators today but lots of birds.

We went to my sister’s pool for a swim and the water was lovely.

Of course I had to take them to Green Cay because it’s such a pleasant place to walk.

I did see a hummingbird in the butterfly garden but he was a little too quick for me. If you look closely you can see the little bird.

Morikami is such a beautiful place to take visitors. It’s a lovely Japanese Garden in the middle of Delray Beach and busy crowded streets.

One night I made stuffed peppers for Sandy and Scott and Kinda and Stan joined us. Sandy learned how to play poker but unfortunately we took our guests money.

We all ate at Cafe Luna Rosa the next night. The food was delicious but the acoustics inside made it hard to hear each other. Scott, Sandy and I had snapper and Bruce had a ravioli dish. Linda had eggplant and Stan had rigatoni.

For our last day together we went to the beach. It was extremely rough and apparently there were man of war in the water.

We watched some surfers on the beach.

For lunch, we ate at the Banana Boat on an inlet. We watched the drawer bridge go up on the hour and the half.

We had a lot of laughs, good food and nice walks.

A fabulous visit with good friends.

In 2015, I retired and my goal was to do as much traveling as I possibly could. I started the blog for our first month long trip to Panama in October 2015. My sister Linda and her husband Stan joined Bruce and I on our first trip and we decided together on the name the four amigos. Since then, we don’t always travel with them, sometimes just Bruce and I, sometimes other people, whoever wants to join us on our crazy journeys. The name stuck and I grew an affinity to it. So here we are. I invite you to join thefouramigos blog on our next destination.
